William Kentridge: 7 fragments for Georges Méliès, Day for Night and Journey to the Moon

William Kentridge (b. 1955) lives and works in Johannesburg. He is one of South Africa’s most profiled contemporary artists, known for his drawings and animated films. 

Kentridge is interested in how we navigate through and understand the world in which we live. Viewing his films, we are constantly confronted with the possibilities and limitations of our way of seeing. An important point for Kentridge is that to see is self-deception: we do not just absorb information; we leave things out, change and add information based on what we already know about the world. Nevertheless, we often treat what we see as truth.
