William Kentridge is a renowned artist from South Africa, using sculpture, drawing, and projection to tell his stories. In this film series, we follow William’s intimate process, where ideas come and go – waiting to become something, to disappear, or to resurface again.

These forces push him to reflect on freedom and isolation. Filmed during the 2020 quarantine, this playful series becomes a conversation with himself, as he summons his alter egos to debate and disagree – on philosophy, identity, and colonialism. Reflecting a time when isolation was at its peak, William learns to listen to himself, to grow his ideas and invites us into the heart of his creative process.

All nine episodes, roughly thirty minutes each, are available to stream on MUBI.
