William Kentridge Rome Performance

William Kentridge Rome Performance:

Triumphs and Laments artwork is going to last through the ages – until it fades under the wear and tear of nature. Built on the river banks of the Tiber River, this creative project naturally blends into the natural surroundings.A walkway is built right along the river and the artwork adorns the wall adjacent to it. In the same way that it is not unusual for visitors to come across a Roman temple now used as a Christian church or a Corinthian column in use as a part of the modern architecture, this great frieze appears like it has been there since the beginning of time… Through the Triumphs and Laments project, the artist, William Kentridge has captured Roman history and simply put it on a wall. Using 80 pictures that follow no particular order, this artwork is a sneak peek into ancient culture, past eras and passing time
