Speakers: Matthew Kentrudge, William Kentridge
In his book The Soho Chronicles, Matthew Kentridge documents the series of ten animated films made over 22 years by his brother, the internationally-celebrated artist William Kentridge. Set in their home city of Johannesburg, the films feature William’s alter ego, Soho Eckstein. The brothers discuss the evolution of technique, themes and ideas over time as the films – originally conceived as a distraction, something to fill the gaps between exhibitions – have magnificently exceeded their brief.
