Exclusively for the NZZ, William Kentridge created the edition “Five Heads for Zurich, 1916”, a series of sculptural prints. These three-dimensional lithographs portray five personalities who were in Zurich in 1916: the Dadaists Tristan Tzara, Emmy Hennings and Hugo Ball, the writer James Joyce and Vladimir Lenin. Kentridge himself once played Tristan Tzara in Tom Stoppard’s play Travesties, which was also set in Zurich in 1916. Dada and the limits of language are an ongoing artistic theme for him.
