South African artist William Kentridge collaborates with curator and friend Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev to present an intriguing new series of nine 30-minute videos, originally intended for online viewing, and offered with a full daily schedule.
Self-Portrait as a Coffee-Pot was shot in his Johannesburg studio during and in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic of 2020-‘22 and was completed in 2023. Kentridge says that his studio is also like an enlarged head – a room for thought and reflection where the drawings, photos, and debris on the walls become the thoughts.
