"William Kentridge's drawing-based works, encompassing animated films, theatre and opera productions, present a uniquely evocative, emblematic view of the state of South Africa today . American curator and critic Dan Cameron surveys Kentridge's work within the context of politicized art practice while analysing the formal innovations of his animation techniques. European art critic and curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev discusses with the artist the political and philosophical dimensions of his relationship to drawing. Booker Prize-winning South African novelist J.M. Coetzee focuses on the artist's animated film History of the Main Complaint (1996), as a pivotal point in the development of Kentridge' best-known characters Soho Ekstein and Felix Teitlebaum.".
