The print companion to Kentridge's latest film series, bringing to life
the eccentric, whimsical world of the artist's mind and his studio
In his newest film series, Self-Portrait as a Coffee-Pot, South African
artist William Kentridge (born 1955) invites us into the whimsical,
protean world of his studio (and, by extension, his mind). Kentridge
experiments with every aspect of his practice: from painting and
printmaking to his collaborative performance Waiting for the Sybil.
This experiment in embodiment and phenomenological experience
originally created for streaming (and now available on MUBI) has now
been reimagined as a printed publication. Kentridge reworks each
episode through a selection of film stills and script extracts, this
new form reinvigorating the series' investigations into the
relationship between mark-making and self-fashioning.
