Summary:

The images are derived from brush and ink drawings for projections for Kentridge's 2015 production of Alban Berg's opera Lulu, which was based on the two Wedekind plays from the turn of the century, Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box. Following its acclaimed run at the Metropolitan Opera, Kentridge's production opens in London November 9, 2016 at the English National Opera, and in Rome on May 17, 2017 ... Kentridge drew with brush and ink on dictionary pages.
