William Kentridge: Pain & Sympathy | Art21 “Exclusive”
Episode #100: With his video “History of the Main Complaint” (1996) serving as a backdrop, William Kentridge discusses how artists draw upon tragedy as subject matter for their work and >how drawing itself can be a compassionate act.
Having witnessed first-hand one of the twentieth centurys most contentious struggles—the dissolution of apartheid—William Kentridge brings the ambiguity and subtlety of personal experience to public subjects most often framed in narrowly defined terms. Using film, drawing, sculpture, animation, and performance, he transmutes sobering political events into powerful poetic allegories. Aware of myriad ways in which we construct the world by looking, Kentridge >often uses optical illusions to extend his drawings-in-time into three dimensions.
Shaun Irving – Cameratruck Project
Photographer Shaun Irving explains the art and science behind his cameratruck project: an ultra-large format camera built from a delivery van. The truck acts as a camera obscura, project the image within its dark interior where it can be exposed. A hole in the side of the truck holds a lens. Paper over the hole adjusts the aperture and he manually exposes the image. The resulting images can be as large as four feet tall and eight feet wide. With the limitations of the truck and fumbling around in the dark, the resulting images capture the energy, confines, and process that made them. The fascination with the work lies in their technical imperfections and the story and journey behind them.
