This poetic ode is presented as a succession of drawings that are continuously erased and reworked directly on the pages of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. Working in the sociopolitical context of apartheid and its aftermath, Kentridge offers an evolutionary content where meaning is built through the act of creation.
