William Kentridge - The Nose - Walther König 2015
Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition at Museum Haus Konstruktiv Zürich, 2015. At the center of his presentation was the 8-part video installation "I am not me, the horse is not mine", which has previously been shown at MoMA in New York and Tate Modern in London. What made the exhibition at Museum Haus Konstruktiv unique, was that it was the first to also present little-known works that were produced in the contentual context of the complex video work. These included bronzes, tapestries, drawings, collages and paper sculptures."I am not me, the horse is not mine" was based on the surrealist short story "The Nose", which was written by Nikolai Gogol in 1836 and adapted for an opera by Dmitri Shostakovich around 100 years later. William Kentridge looks into the era of the Russian Constructivists and their fight for social and artistic transformation - a transformation that was also a concern of the Zurich Concretists.
