These phrases, which he has written into a studio notebook titled \u003cem\u003eWords\u003c\/em\u003e, have been put to work in many of his artistic projects. Kentridge has often begun a project by paging through the notebook, waiting for a phrase to claim its place in the new work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe text excerpts come from many sources: Aimé Césaire, Yehuda Amichai, Sigmund Freud, James Joyce, Setswana proverbs, the Book of Ecclesiastes, Tristan Tzara’s \u003cem\u003eDada Manifesto\u003c\/em\u003e, and a range of eastern European poets.
