The Refusal of Time

2012

William Kentridge’s kinetic sculptures have their origins in the project The Refusal of Time, and were constructed from megaphones, bicycle wheels, sewing machines, bellows, tripods, and drums. As Kentridge says, it is about “taking sense and deconstructing it, taking nonsense and seeing if sense can be constructed from it …. This leads to the question of mistranslation, and the pressure that imperfect understanding gives to the act of imagination.”
