And these phrases, which he has written into a studio notebook titled \u003ci\u003eWords\u003c\/i\u003e, have been put to work in many of his artistic projects. Kentridge has often begun a project by paging through the notebook, waiting for a phrase to claim its place in the new work. The text excerpts come from many sources: Aimé Césaire, Yehuda Amichai, Sigmund Freud, James Joyce, Setswana proverbs, the Book of Ecclesiastes, Tristan Tzara’s \u003ci\u003eDada Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e, and a range of eastern European poets. This volume presents a selection made from the notebook, with phrases arranged neither randomly nor with a clear agenda but finding a space in between. Cleverly designed by the artist and beautifully produced, \u003ci\u003eWords\u003c\/i\u003e is a thought-provoking collection that provides a window to the mind of a contemporary creative genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40827977367649,"sku":"9781803092171","price":28.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26880950.jpg?v=1721324881","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781803092171-words","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
