Description:
In 1989, the year of South Africa's seismic political transformation, William Kentridge developed his celebrated method of animated drawing. Juxtaposed against the country's larger political processes, Kentridge's ambulatory and sequentialized animation practice emerges as imbricated in both his recurrent streams of processions and in local imagery that deployed the visual syntax of striding figures as allegories of political restructuring. Kentridge's timely embrace of the dynamism of animation—a medium that speaks metaphorically of transformation—suggests how his unorthodox studio practices are embedded in South Africa's larger processes of regime change.
