David Claerbout

As one of the most innovative and acclaimed artists of his generation working with moving image, Claerbout has created a striking body of works within which the media of film and photography appear to co-exist.

Claerbout's works often depict some everyday activity or event that seems to be the subject of the work, but as time passes we as viewers face a dilemma in how to decipher the artist’s intention. The works not only alter our established understanding of time and the narrative process but also our notions of reality, illusion, and the relationship between them.

David Claerbout currently lives and works in Antwerp and Berlin. Recent years have seen his work honoured with prizes and numerous solo exhibitions in Europe and North America.
