'In doing these prints, I was interested in the way in which projections can give large scale to images - becoming a kind of heir to the fresco tradition in the way that they cover a huge wall with an image. I was thinking about projections as a way of seeing the world, a contemporary and ephemeral equivalent to the view of the world encoded in fresco painting in past centuries... I took as a starting point for the project the famous Goya frescoes in San Antonio de la Florida, Madrid. In this project I worked with figures moving around the ceiling, an endless procession...thinking about the curvature of the horizon, which in the conventions of painting and photography we see as flattened, making anamorphic distortions of the world to fit it to a rectangular grid' (the artist as quoted in David Krut (ed.), William Kentridge Prints, Johannesburg, 2006, p.102).
