William Kentridge (born 1955 in South Africa) doing solo show in Tokyo.
Most of his works are animation with hand written drawing, cut out papers, objects.
He shoots one frame, then erase the drawing and write new one (or move things slightly), then take new one frame. It takes very long time to complete one piece.
Some of his works are serious, treating political issue. It would be natural regarding his birthplace.
But some are more humorous like artist himself bothered by the tools he use.
(For example, he has to chase the cup of coffee which running on the table)
There is some erotic scene is inserted in political context.
It makes me aware that the love and hate drive the history by making war, economical conflict, and so on.
The show is to be February 14.
