Shot in his Johannesburg studio during and in the aftermath of the 2020 – 2022 COVID-19 pandemic and inspired in part by Charlie Chaplin, Dziga Vertov and the innovative wit of early cinema, this lively series of distinct but interconnected vignettes, at turns humorous, philosophical, political and probing, is a hymn to artistic freedom and the power of imagination, even when confronted with the challenge of isolation in enclosed spaces.

Bringing together hand-drawn animations, collage, performance and music, as well as dialogues with collaborators and doppelgängers, the series invites us to step inside the intimacy of the studio, where shared discoveries about culture, history and politics, and profound truths about the ways we live and think today are uncovered through the making of works of art.

Its acquisition by MUBI in March 2024 gave the company exclusive global streaming rights through the purchase of the first of a limited number of editions sold by the artist’s galleries Hauser & Wirth and Goodman Gallery, an unprecedented combination of fine art acquisition and streaming rights.

In addition to streaming, the series has been exhibited as an installation at galleries and museums including the Arsenale Institute for the Politics of Representation, curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (2024), Hauser & Wirth (2025), Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2025), and Museum Folkwang Dresden (2025).
