In this podcast William Kentridge talks about film and his work. I liked his discussion of walking and thinking. Promenade, after lunch. His extension of the promenade, to the ongoing walk between camera and drawing being an essential and important part of the development of his works. I think about my wrapping of the trees and the people and the images of physically unrolling the role of gauze. I recall the concentration on the unrolling, the swiftness, the placement, the tautness, new ideas, new pathways, moving, many ways of moving, the slowing and the weaving on a human scale. Also cutting of the gauze. It dividing in front of you, wide to narrow. Also the time spent cutting the gauze is a time to develop ideas.Kentridge also talks about painting with honey to attract ants to animate, love that.

I had not heard about Kentridge and his ants.

It reminds me of your excitement about the idea of nature animating herself, hooked up to cameras and sound recorders with remote sensing devices triggered by temperature, light, humidity, motion, sound etc.
