WILLIAM KENTRIDGE ` I AM NOT ME, THE HORSE IS NOT MINE`

WILLIAM KENTRIDGE " I AM NOT ME, THE HORSE IS NOT MINE" , HARDCOVER, 2008 FIRST EDITION, 82 PAGES IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO NAMES, INSCRIPTIONS ETC. 

The publication I Am Not Me, The Horse Is Not Mine (a Russian peasant expression used to deny guilt), contains a series of essays lecture notes, lecture extracts and commentary by William Kentridge on the eight films and performance event that was first presented to international acclaim at the Sydney Biennale, 2008.

The event comprises a multi-channel projection installation of eight film fragments entitled I am not me, the horse is not mine. Based on the absurdist short story, The Nose (1837), by Nikolai Gogol, the installation promises to keep audiences transfixed with its mixture of self-reflective fragments, absurd cut-outs, instrumental and vocal soundscapes and projections. I am not me, the horse is not mine takes the short story, its earlier history, and its possible histories as a basis for looking at the formal inventiveness of different strains of Russian Modernism and the calamitous end of the Russian avant-garde (Kentridge).
