William Kentridge (born 28 April 1955) is a South African artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films.
These are constructed by filming a drawing, making erasures and changes, and filming it again.
He continues this process meticulously, giving each change to the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time.
A single drawing will be altered and filmed this way until the end of a scene.
These palimpsest-like drawings are later displayed along with the films as finished pieces of art.
