William Kentridge
I am not Me, the Horse is not Mine

I am not Me, the Horse is not Mine takes as starting point Nikolai Gogol��s absurdist short story The Nose (1837), and emerges as part of William Kentridge��s process of developing his production of Dimitri Shostakovich��s opera The Nose (1930), commissioned for the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 2010.

The work stems from an ongoing interest in the roots and trajectory of modernism: a mixture of the absurd, the self-reflective (and the ��self-divided��) and the forms of fragmentation that one associates with modernism, its crushing in Russia in the 1930s, and the long-term trajectory of the terrors of hierarchy. The lecture combines live performance with projection, and is about 45 minutes in duration.
