Screenprint on a numbered page of a Mining Company, South-Africa. - Signed in red pencil // No Idea Thought Image by William Kentridge is a screen print created in 2016 that explores themes of ambiguity and negation. Printed on a lined page from a South African mining company’s ledger, the work features bold text reading “NO” alongside the words “IDEA,” “THOUGHT,” and “IMAGE.” Ink splatters punctuate the composition, evoking a sense of spontaneous action and interruption. Below, a precise timestamp adds a layer of specificity to an otherwise abstract piece, as if capturing a fleeting moment of creative block or philosophical contemplation. Signed in red pencil, this limited edition print reflects Kentridge’s engagement with memory, history, and the fragmented nature of thought.

What is animation?
Animation is the process of displaying a sequence of static images in rapid succession to create the illusion of movement. Each image, or frame, is slightly altered from the previous one, particularly in the moving parts, so when shown together, they form a continuous motion. Traditionally, illustrators drew each frame by hand to produce this effect.
