1969, Kortrijk, Belguim
Lives and works in Antwerp and Berlin, Germany

David Claerbout's earliest videos prolong the photographic moment and stop the momentum of film in order to sculpt the perception of time. Although he is best known for his large-scale video projections, which often combine moving and still images to unsettle the delineation between past and present. In more recent works, time is articulated in a broader, more formal and panoramic way. Claerbout’s work has recently been featured in solo exhibitions at Secession, Vienna, Austria (2012); Parasol Unit, London (2012); Wiels Centre for Contemporary Art, Brussels, Belgium (2011); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California, USA (2011); and Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany (2010).
