Considerable comment was engendered by William Kentridge's animated Tide Table (2003): the sands of the beach at Muizenberg on the Western Cape transmogrify into a kind of divinatory surface, in which we glimpse the unbearable tragedy and awe-inspiring nobility of a land in the age of AIDS, as even the white industrialist Soho Eckstein himself is drawn into the great seaside assemblage of persons and histories. For optimal viewing conditions, pick up a copy of the San Luis Obispo Tribune newspaper and consult the tide tables (on the weather page) for the lowest ebbs. The Bay's entrance channel has a minimum depth around three feet, so you'll want to consult the tide table before making your entrance. |
