‘What happens at the edges?’ William Kentridge, ‘Peripheral Vision’

Here are some images drawn from William Kentridge’s films and other works over the years. A typewriter turns into a tree. Leaves of paper lift in the breeze, just as the leaves of a tree would. In a triumphant scene from a colonial film, a rhinoceros is shot by hunters; later the rhinoceros, turned gymnast, somersaults over a humanoid construction with megaphone head bearing the sign Trauerarbeit. A cat curls itself into a cartoon bomb with its fuse lit; the seconds tick away and it explodes (fig. 5). A procession marches across the landscape, growing larger as it comes nearer.
