William Kentridge reimagines his film series Self-Portrait as a Coffee-Pot through text and image in this striking artist's book.



William Kentridge reimagines his film series 'Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot' that premiered during the 2024 Venice Biennale in this comprehensive artist's book. The artist enters into a rich dialogue with himself in the studio, hashing out questions of art, work, memory, history, and time in magnitudes ranging from the intimate to the universal. Created in close collaboration with the artist, this publication translates his multidisciplinary approach to his films combining film with performance, collage, drawing, and music into book form, richly illustrated, with exquisite special features such as tipped-in drawings and transparent interleaves bringing the vivid materiality of the artist's studio into the hands of the reader.
