William Kentridge: Self-Portrait as a Coffee-Pot
William Kentridge: Self-Portrait as a Coffee-Pot
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 World War I commemorative works or his collaborative performance Waiting for the Sybil. This experiment in embodiment and phenomenological experience originally created for streaming (and is now available on MUBI) has now been reimagined as a printed publication. He 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.
