“A hypnotic mechanized puppet show with video projects”, was how a co-worker described a piece of the William Kentridge exhibit currently on show at the MoMA. Anyone who knows me knows that this is the kind of sound byte that gets my attention.
I was utterly blown away by the exhibit. It was some of the most moving work I have seen in recent memory. I particularly connected with his video work which combines his expressionist charcoal stop-motion animation with graphical collages reminiscent of the Brothers Quay.
William Kentridge: Five Themes is at MoMA through May 17th. Don’t miss it.
Check out more videos of the “puppet show”. MoMA’s site for the exhibition is pretty cool too.
