☕ Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot

William Kentridge's work is an ongoing conversation with memory, history and the messy act of making — best known for stop-motion charcoal drawings that erase and redraw themselves into being. His nine-part film series Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot, made in his Johannesburg studio during the pandemic, stages dialogues between multiple versions of the artist himself, the coffee pot becoming both object and alter ego. A reminder that selfhood can be sketched through things and gestures as much as through the face.
