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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Kentridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 10.00w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783969994757","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45521009868937,"sku":"9783969994757","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_f14eaec9-e5ce-42a9-ac02-5c242a6a5e46.jpg?v=1776224988","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/william-kentridge-listen-to-the-echo-9783969994757","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
