William Kentridge: The Refusl of Time - Review

In the Metropolitan Museum, located uptown of New York City, held an exhibit of an artist, whose work has constant meaning with time. William Kentridge is an artist, known for his work of prints, drawings, and animation films. He construct filming his drawing, making changes, and filming it continuously. His exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum, shows one of his work call the Refusal of Time, where is films moving actions continuously to represent time.

William Kentridge's The Refusal of Time features live action and sounds that all have to do with time. His work either consist of a cycles images of films with many clips that had to do with the same image and represent different position of time, or a continuing film that happens during a period of time. Basically his work for this exhibit consist of linear and non linear time.

I was very interested in his work when I saw the his exhibit at the Met. I truly understand that he was trying to portrait time as linear, when I saw the blacken silhouettes of the band dancing around, and non linear, the many images films of metronomes that were clicking all differently. The only think that I had a hard time figuring out was the center piece in the middle of the room. It was just moving a certain cycle as the walls projects different images.
