Over 25 years ago, Kentridge made a name for himself as an artist with his short animated films that dealt with the problematic history of apartheid in his homeland. Using a characteristic stop-motion technique based on his charcoal drawings, which are still his hallmark, he brings his drawings to life before the viewer's eyes, so that we can follow how the drawing is created.

Louisiana's 2017 exhibition focused on a series of the artist's late works from the period 2003-2016, which in their anatomy mark a new breakthrough in Kentridge's oeuvre. A lifelong enthusiasm for theatre, opera, literature, film and music has culminated over the past 15 years in a series of virtuoso installations, where the aforementioned art forms are connected through moving images, words, music and scenography. The stage is set, so to speak.

At the heart of Kentridge's work is man: the colonized, regulated, oppressed, fleeing or dreaming man. With great humor, empathy and poetry, the works depict how man navigates the world, and how we are strongly influenced by and subject to mapping, the concept of time and ideology.
