Image description

A montage using 35mm and 16mm film and mini dv transferred to beta and dvd which blends stop-motion animation with charcoal sketches and archival film footage set against an original soundtrack by Kevin Volans (b.1949), Zeno Writing is loosely based on the 1923 Italo Svevo novel, The Confessions of Zeno (la coscienza di Zeno). Expanding on the original story to look forward to the cataclysm of World War I, William Kentridge uses the story of individual crisis to contemplate a world devoured by violence.
