Beginning with Searching, Organizing, and Sensuality, and closing with Melancholy, the four stages\u00a0of Everyone \/ Their Own \/ Projector submerge us in Kentridge\u2019s meandering universe. Combining drawings\u00a0and printed texts, the book presents a range of shapes and images appropriated by William Kentridge.<\/p>\n
The recurring silhouette of The Nose, relating to Kentridge\u2019s work around his production of Shostakovich\u2019s opera\u00a0after Gogol\u2019s short story, inhabits the book\u2019s pages. The Nose is an obsessive, enigmatic figure that\u00a0is reinvented again and again. And so, Kentridge returns to and reworks other forms – here a figure by Masaccio\u00a0is echoed in a face by Manet, here, nudes by Rembrandt unexpectedly become fragments in a dialogue with\u00a0Tatlin\u2019s constructivist architecture.\u00a0Kentridge plays with the palimpsest and with overlaying; he outlines hidden affinities. He superimposes pages\u00a0torn from dictionaries, encyclopedias, cookbooks or science manuals, mixing up their languages; he crosses\u00a0out, erases, covers images with Indian ink, blending different forms of knowledge, perception, and transmission.\u00a0He engages in his own dialogue with images borrowed from art history through projections, retakes and\u00a0bifurcations. Each image becomes a possibility, a path of exploration; each drawing, though independent,\u00a0is part of a system of constant revision and referral in the sketched artistic self-portrait that the title of the book\u00a0seems to suggest.<\/p>\n
