David Claerbout (born 1969 in Kortrijk, Belgium) is one of the most innovative and acclaimed artist working in the realm of moving images. His oeuvre exists at the intersection of photography, film and digital technology.
He trained as a painter, but became more and more interested in time through investigations in the nature of photography and film. Fusing together the past, present and future into stunning moments of temporal elasticity, his works present profound and moving philosophical contemplations on our perception of time and reality, memory and experience, truth and fiction.
Using pixel constellations, image sequences, light, speed, speech, music and ambient sound, installation environment and the technologies used to convey these, his strikingly sensual compositions elicit new modes of perceptual absorption, expectations, comprehension and memory.
He has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions internationally. His work is represented in major public collections worldwide.
