    Interview with William Kentridge, about his exhibition "Je n'attends plus"

    "The process of making the work is also the process of discovering the history and what the work will be."

    Alongside his world premiere The Great Yes, The Great No, a musical theater piece that debuted at LUMA Arles in July, William Kentridge's exhibition Je n’attends plus presents a collection of major works addressing migration, the oppression of peoples, the transmission of history, and the role of the artist in a constrained society.

    What is the significance of bringing together the artwork and its creative process in a single space? Why choose cardboard as a medium to express his ideas? How does he play with illusion, understanding, and our personal perception?

    In this interview, William Kentridge shares the importance he places on the creative process behind his works and how he highlights this in his exhibition Je n’attends plus.
