Literature

Bronwyn Law-Viljoen (ed) (2007) William Kentridge: Flute, Johannesburg: David Krut Publishing, another example from the edition illustrated in colour on page 133.

Notes

"When the falcon materialises again in Camera Horus, he is an inverted spectre, a suspended taciturn phantom trapped by the straight lines of light and vision while, in another homely touch, comforting cups of tea are set below."1.
