Product detailed description
William Kentridge is known for his innovative work that combines a wide range of media, including film, drawing, music, and shadow play. His works often address social and political issues, referencing historical and contemporary contexts. Let Me Live Again is a photogravure based on his Drawings for Projection series, which is part of his larger multimedia installation Notes Towards a Model Opera. Kentridge creates intricate drawings with charcoal, erases them, and transforms them through stop-motion animation. This process is then transformed into the photogravure, which is printed on high-quality paper.
Photogravure is a complex and labor-intensive printmaking technique that involves etching a copper plate and printing it on paper. The print Let Me Live Again is part of a limited edition of 50, with only 40 available for sale. This print is available exclusively at Kunsthalle Praha Design Shop and is for pickup only. No frame is included.

William Kentridge is a South African artist internationally renowned for his drawings, prints, and pioneering animated films. He became widely known in the 1990s for his hand-drawn animation technique based on drawing, erasing, altering the image, and filming each stage — a process that leaves visible traces of change and has become his unmistakable artistic signature.
Kentridge’s work explores themes such as memory, history, colonialism, and the political complexities of South Africa. His pieces function as poetic visual essays, combining the tactility of drawing with the narrative depth of film.
Today, Kentridge is considered one of the most influential contemporary artists worldwide. His work has been exhibited at Tate Modern, MoMA, the Venice Biennale, and Documenta, among many other major institutions.
