"Drawing from 'Woyzeck on the Highveld'" exemplifies William Kentridge's distinctive approach to charcoal drawing, where gestural marks and partial erasures create a sense of movement and impermanence. The work relates to Kentridge's 1992 animated film that adapts Georg Büchner's play to apartheid era South Africa, transposing the original narrative of a marginalized soldier to the context of migrant workers in the Witwatersrand region. Kentridge's charcoal technique, with its visible process of drawing and rubbing out, mirrors the themes of erasure and historical revision central to both the film and the play itself.
