William Kentridge

Kentridge draws, films the drawing, changes it and films again, so his animated films carry the smudged ghosts of every erased line. Born in Johannesburg in 1955 and still working from a studio there, he has spent four decades moving between drawing, film, sculpture, printmaking and stage productions, and the stage work matters as much as the gallery work. The best way in right now is Bozar in Brussels, where I am not me, the horse is not mine runs from September 18, 2026, to March 7, 2027, built around several of his major productions with new wall drawings made for the building. If you only know one Kentridge film, this is where the whole practice makes sense.
