Description
William Kentridge: Self-Portrait as a Coffee-Pot reimagines the artist's film series through text and image in this striking artist's book.
William Kentridge reimagines his film series Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot, which premiered during the 2024 Venice Biennale, in this comprehensive artist's book. The artist enters into a rich dialogue with himself in the studio, exploring questions of art, work, memory, history, and time, covering scales from the intimate to the universal.
Created in close collaboration with the artist, this publication translates his multidisciplinary approach to his films into book form, combining film with performance, collage, drawing, and music. It is richly illustrated, featuring exquisite special details such as tipped-in drawings and transparent interleaves, bringing the vivid materiality of the artist's studio into the hands of the reader.

About the Author
William Kentridge (born Johannesburg, South Africa, 1955) is internationally acclaimed for his drawings, films, theatre, and opera productions. His method combines drawing, writing, film, performance, music, theatre, and collaborative practices to create works of art that are grounded in politics, science, literature, and history, yet maintain a space for contradiction and uncertainty.
Karen Marta is an editor who has worked across other titles on the artist William Kentridge: Triumphs and Laments, Walther König (2017) and William Kentridge: Notes Toward a Model Opera, UCCA / Koenig Books / Marta and Cosentino (2017). Both of these books were also designed by Garrick Gott. Karen and Garrick both also worked on previous HWP titles Luchita Hurtado (2021) and Gustav Metzger: Interviews with Hans Ulrich Obrist (2024).
