Publié en avril 2014 à l'occasion d’une exposition homonyme au Bal, Ponte City est le produit de cinq ans de travail documentaire mené par Mikhael Subotzky et Patrick Waterhouse. Produit de l’association du graphiste Ramón Pez et de l’éditeur Steidl et lancé à l’occasion d’une exposition homonyme organisée au BAL entre le 23 janvier et le 20 avril 2014, ce livre est le symbole de la transformation d’une ville en ébullition, depuis le temps de l’apartheid et de la domination blanche, puis de l’effondrement du centre-ville dans les années quatre-vingt-dix et enfin du renouveau multi-ethnique en ce début de XXIe siècle. Loin d’être un simple catalogue illustratif, le livre PONTE CITY a un trait narratif très marqué. Il se lit doucement, page par page, malgré la diversité des formes, des images et des textes qui le composent. La présence de séquences bien apparentes facilitent la lecture de ce travail d’accumulation de signes et de gestes constitués par touches, présents dans le travail de Mikhael Subotzky et Patrick Waterhouse. Cette collecte documentaire invite à l’immersion et à la lecture comme autant de rapprochements avec le réel de cette tour à Johannesburg. Dans ce livre-objet, les images et les textes composent une archive ouverte où s’entremêlent les données historiques (plans, brochures, coupures de presse...), les typologies d’éléments architecturaux des 54 étages et les images laissées dans les appartements par des migrants de passage. Dans la plupart de ces récits, l’exil, la décadence et le pillage sont l’envers de ces images au décor familial. Les fenêtres des appartements sont fermées vers l’extérieur, ouvertes vers l’intérieur de la cour - le lieu de l’enfermement, mais dans chaque chambre, la télévision est allumée, toute la réalité du monde est là, représentée. Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse worked at Ponte City, the iconic Johannesburg apartment building which is Africa's tallest residential skyscraper, for more than six years. They photographed the residents and documented the building; every door, the view from every window, the image on every television screen. This remarkable body of images is presented here in counterpoint with an extensive archive of found material and historical documents. The visual story is integrated with a sustained sequence of essays and documentary texts. In the essays, some of South Africa’s leading scholars and writers explore Ponte City’s unique place in Johannesburg and in the imagination of its citizens. What emerges is a complex portrait of a place shaped by contending projections, a single, unavoidable building seen as refuge and monstrosity, dreamland and dystopia, a lightning rod for a society’s hopes and fears, and always a beacon to navigate by.

NO IT IS' is a catalogue of the exhibition at the Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin and the performances at the Berliner Festspiele in summer 2016. But it is also an artist's book incorporating a libretto for a performed guided tour of the exhibition: a performance which is both a guide to the exhibition and also an exhibit within the exhibition. Texts in the book consist of writings by or conversations with William Kentridge on the different projects presented in Berlin. Exhibition: Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, Germany (12.05.-21.08.2016).

The text in this book is essentially the libretto of the chamber opera Waiting for the Sibyl, which was made for the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and first performed there in September 2019. Music for the opera was composed by Nhlanhla Mahlangu and Kyle Shepherd. The images and phrases were projected on different size screens in the opera, sometimes in sync with the sung text, sometimes independent of any sung text. In the opera production, the right-hand page generally had text, and the left-hand page had a mixture of drawings and the shadow of a dancer on stage cast onto the projection surface. In this book there are more and different drawings than are used in the opera. This book is compiled and published in the time of the covid-19 pandemic, a time in which it is not possible to perform the opera live. The project is undertaken in anticipation of the time when the opera can be seen in its full form again. Exhibition: Mudam, Luxemburg (2021).

South African-born Belgian artist Kendell Geers changed his date of birth to MAY 1968 as a performance, effectively giving birth to himself as a work of art. His artistic practice weaves together African animism, European mysticism, and socio-political activism with humor, irony, and contradiction. He uses his identity as a White African like a key to unlock and critique our understanding and reading of history, art, and language. This book, which focuses on his works created between 1988 and the present, looks at the influence of avant-garde traditions from Dada and Surrealism to Punk, intertwined with the powerful legacy of traditional African art on his work. Spiritually charged, politically poignant, and socially engaged, the work cannot be categorized as either European or African, but is rather a prolonged metaphysical dialogue between cultures, archetypal signs, and sacred symbols. Included are works in a diversity of media, including painting, sculpture, performance, photography, installation, and conceptual art.

South African artist William Kentridge draws on varied sources in his work, including philosophy, literature, early cinema, theatre and opera. This publication began life as a film constructed from a succession of drawings made in 2013 on the pages of old books; a second-hand reading in which books are translated into a filming of books, articulating the relationship between drawing, photography and film-making. It is both a narrative and an acknowledgement of the necessity of repetition, inconsistency and the illogical. Kentridge has made many flip books, but at 800 pages this is his most ambitious. He has also been making animated films for two decades.0.
