Amazing piece! I had the chance to see this, and it really must be seen in person. The video is mistitled, however. The real title of the piece is Black Box/Chambre Noire.

Examples of this artist's work are at present being exhibited in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The Black Box is a large wooden framework with sliding backgrounds built into it, rather like Japanese theater. It also contains movable cardboard cut-outs and video animation, charcoal sketches, sound-and-light, and other things I can only guess at. The audience sits on benches in a darkened room and watches the show through an opening the size of a medium television screen.

Is this piece performed live???? not just as a animated short film??? I do body shadows and shadow shortfilms, too and would love to know.

[@missmargot3horne63]

does anyone know if it s possible to see that piece and where please? i need to see that and i cant find any useful info on the internet..

[@BradyDale]

Oh man... I'm glad this is up here but I just can't follow Kentridge when it isn't narrative at all. I need a character in there somewhere. Maybe I'm too dense?

[@JosieC1234]

Can someone tell me what is going on in this?
