Step into the Koffler gallery reimagined as a cozy, living room space, as you view films from one of the most prolific artists of our time. This series nine 30-minute films, was shot in his Johannesburg studio during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and completed in 2023. “Filming began in the first lockdown and the studio mimicked the closed spaces of COVID, but the studio is also an enlarged head, a chamber for thoughts and reflections where all the drawings, photos and detritus on the walls become these thoughts,” says Kentridge.
The room has been inspired by elements from Kentridge’s studio, and designed by celebrated theatre designer, Theresa Przybylski.
