Si certains y voient une libération politique, la violence et les effusions de sang qui ébranlent la ville de Johannesburg pendant la période précédant ces élections sont inédites. Felix in Exile invoque le sacrifice, le chagrin et le souvenir de l'autodestruction du peuple, à la fois au regard des événements qui conduiront à l'élection et en référence à l'histoire personnelle de Kentridge.Nandi, protagoniste du film, est visible à l'écran dès le début du court métrage, observant la terre, reportant dans son dessin l'horrible champ de cadavres en sang qui se dissolvent dans le paysage. L'œuvre ici présentée est visible dans le film de 7:08 à 7:09 minutes, lorsque Nandi gît morte après avoir été tuée par un sniper. La ligne rouge bordant la figure, à la manière si caractéristique de Kentridge, fut ajoutée par la suite. Le processus artistique de William Kentridge, qui consiste à retravailler et à modifier un dessin unique à de nombreuses reprises afin d'illustrer les mouvements animés du film, abouti à cet unique dessin, capturant le tragique de l'entièreté de la scène. 'La technique que j'utilise consiste à avoir une feuille de papier collée au mur du studio et, à mi-chemin dans la pièce, mon appareil photo, généralement une vieille Bolex. Un dessin est gribouillé sur le papier, je me dirige vers la caméra, je tourne une ou deux images, je reviens vers le papier, je modifie le dessin (de façon marginale), je reviens vers la caméra, je reviens vers le papier, vers la caméra, et ainsi de suite. Ainsi, chaque séquence, par opposition à chaque image du film, est un dessin unique. En tout, il peut y avoir vingt dessins pour un film plutôt que les milliers auxquels on s'attend. Cela ressemble plus à la réalisation d'un dessin qu'à celle d'un film (bien qu'il s'agisse d'un dessin gris, abîmé et frotté)'.(Conférence, 1993, publiée dans Cycnos : Image et Langage, Problèmes, Approches, Méthodes, Nice, vol. 11 no.1, 1994, pp. 163-168.

Le cadrage de la figure réduit Nandi à une enquête objectivée, à étudier avec recul, dépourvue d'émotion humaine et volontairement privée de la compassion du spectateur.This is a drawing from Felix in Exile, a film by Kentridge created between September 1993 and March 1994. The following month after this film was completed, South Africa held the first democratic election in the country's history. Whilst this would have been viewed by some as political liberation, the reality of the city of Johannesburg was riddled with violence and bloodshed in the journey up to this election. Felix in Exile examines the sacrifice, grief and memorial encapsulating the destruction of the people at the hands of others both in the events leading to the election and historically throughout Kentridge's life. Nandi, a protagonist of the film, can be seen from the beginning of the film observing the land, witnessing bleeding corpses dissolving into the landscape of which she is drawing. The present lot can be seen in the film from 7:08 to 7:09 when Nandi lays dead after being killed by a sniper. Not present in this scene of Nandi's dead body is the addition of the red line bordering the figure which we see here in the drawing today. Kentridge's process of re-working and altering a singular drawing numerous times to display animated movement in the film has resulted in this conclusive drawing. 'The technique I use is to have a sheet of paper stuck up on the studio wall and, half-way across the room, my camera, usually an old Bolex. A drawing is tarted on the paper, I walk across to the camera, shoot one or two frames, walk back to the paper, change the drawing (marginally), walk back to the camera, walk back to the paper, to the camera, and so on. So that each sequence as opposed to each frame of the film is a single drawing. In all there may be twenty drawings to a film rather than the thousands one expects. It is more like making a drawing than making a film (albeit a gray, battered and rubbed about drawing).'(Lecture, 1993, published in Cycnos: Image et Langage, Problemes, Approches, Méthodes, Nice, vol. 11 no.1, 1994, pp. 163-168.

Influenced by the graphic photography of the time covered by the media and police investigation photography, this sketch embodies the cold forensic nature of these photographs. Framing the figure in this way shifts the humanitarian view of the corpse, reducing Nandi to an objectified investigation to be studied, devoid of human emotion.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
