'Other Faces'
William Kentridge at Goodman GalleryWilliam Kentridge’s 'Other Faces' has been drawn and filmed over the past year. It will be shown at Goodman Gallery Johannesburg in conjunction with a group of working drawings used in the film’s animation, as well as drawing fragments and prints.
As with other films in the 'Drawings for Projection' series, the artist uses a 35mm movie camera to film the successive stages of charcoal drawings that are progressively altered through erasure and overdrawing. 'Other Faces' returns to the figure of Soho Eckstein, the industrialist and developer who is the key protagonist of the 'Drawings for Projection' series. In this cycle of nine films created from 1989 through 2003, Kentridge addresses the doubling and contrary sides of the self, personified in the entrepreneur/capitalist Soho and his foil, the poet/lover Felix.
