William Kentridge's The Refusal of Time is an installation in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
The exhibition is absolutely brilliant.
There are five projections set up, each depicting a different time or a traveling through time.
Each video is filmed in black and white, and there are different scenes.
William Kentridge himself is shown climbing up chairs and coming back down in what seems to never end. The projections change up and different characters are added and different scenes are displayed. There is also a huge structure that is moving back and forth while what appears to be a metronome ticks away.

The exhibition was visually pleasing and the background music (especially the tuba) gave a lot of life to the videos. The people used in the videos were animated and colorful even though they were shot in black and white. I really enjoyed the energy of this exhibition and a lot of the dancing scenes reminded me of dancing back home in Nigeria.
