Featured artworks range from his early prints and drawings that laid the foundation for his animated film series, \u003ci\u003eDrawings for Projection\u003c\/i\u003e, to recent installations that confront apartheid, colonialism, social upheaval and collective memory. Other standout works in the volume include his panoramic video installation \u003ci\u003eMore Sweetly Play the Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, and his woodcut series Triumphs and Laments--both of which employ the motif of procession as a powerful metaphor for change. The book also highlights the Centre for the Less Good Idea, a Johannesburg-based performance incubation space cofounded by Kentridge and Bronwyn Lace that adheres to Kentridge's experimental and open-ended approach to making.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52160160137490,"sku":"9783969994757","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_30b2a729-b529-4720-871b-e0e3cdd0ffd2.jpg?v=1775038409","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/william-kentridge-listen-to-the-echo-9783969994757","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
