Venezia, Italy

William Kentridge’s tribute to Italy revolves around the preparatory
drawings for the Triumphs & Laments project (charcoal
drawings on the pages of an old ledger book) and collages of figures
reminiscent of the frieze on Trajan's Column. In this cycle,
history meets current events. It proceeds through a series a free
associations of images where the past enters into dialogue with
the present. Distant episodes are linked. Differences are connected.
Unexpected analogies lead the way. We are invited to
retrace the decisive moments in the history of Rome. In a
journey that goes from Remus to Pasolini.
