William Kentridge is an extraordinary visual artist who uses drawing, film, performance, music and sculpture to probe the ideas and conventions of our world; seeking its hidden truths and dismantling its false certainties. He invented “Moving Drawings,” which are animated films created by filming still sketches, redrawing them, and then filming them again, over and over, bringing forth a unique world. He created a new kind of artistic media rooted in drawings, integrating sketches with film, installations, and sculptures, and later on, combined and developing them into theater and opera works. He has always opposed tyranny, and his intellectual quest to track down the evils of apartheid and colonialism are entwined in all his artworks, earning him the high regard of many people.
