William Kentridge is well known for his distinctive method of animation. Rather than drawing multiple images and projecting them sequentially, he begins with a single drawing that he repeatedly alters, erases and redraws, while photographing each stage. Projected in sequence, these transformations generate a unique dynamism and expressionism to reveal the inner working of the process. In this visual triptych, Kentridge combines his drawings with medical images and period illustrations, drawing on the material he used when directing Claudio Monteverdi’s opera "Il ritorno d’Ulisse" in patria with the Handspring Puppet Company in 1998. Here, however, the soundtrack is not Monteverdi but a Beethoven string quartet. Like Ulysses on his long voyage, we journey through the interior of the body, with its hidden architectures and anatomies, its mechanisms of function, reminding us of both the fragility of the spirit and of the vast immensity that lies beneath appearances and surfaces.
