David Claerbout is bekend om zijn video-installaties die hij wereldwijd tentoonstelt. Sinds zijn eerste videowerken midden jaren negentig won zijn werk snel aan complexiteit. De virtuele fotografie deed zijn werk en denken evolueren naar een verregaande synthetische beeldpraktijk die hem op het voorplan van de nieuwe mediakunst heeft geplaatst. Van daaruit ontwikkelde Claerbout een kritiek over de impact van de desintegratie van het vertrouwde fotografische beeld op het niveau van de waarneming en de (zintuiglijke) cognitie en de verregaande sociale en politieke gevolgen. Deze rijk ge llustreerde publicatie presenteert een selectie van werken van de afgelopen tien jaar. In een interview met Jonathan Pouthier, filmcurator voor het Centre Pompidou in Parijs, spreekt David Claerbout voor het eerst in de diepte over deze werken in relatie tot actuele discussies over fotografie, film en het virtuele. De publicatie valt samen met de Bi nnale van Veneti 2022 en solotentoonstellingen in onder meer M nchen, Berlijn, Boedapest en New York. //// Long-awaited monumental monograph on the work of David Claerbout In a conversation with Jonathan Pouthier, curator of the cinema programme of the Mus e National d?Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), video artist David Claerbout reflects for the first time in depth on his work of the past decade in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual. The Silence of the Lens offers a unique insight into the creative process behind such recent video works as The Close, Aircraft (F.A.L.), Wildfire (meditation on fire), The Confetti Piece and The Pure Necessity. The publication coincides with the Venice Biennale 2022 and solo exhibitions in various cities including Munich, Berlin, Budapest and New York. //// David Claerbout is known for his video installations, which he exhibits worldwide. From the time of his first video works in the mid-1990s, his work rapidly gained in complexity. Virtual photography pushed his work and thinking towards a far-reaching synthetic visual practice that placed him at the forefront of the new media art. From that position, Claerbout developed a critique of the impact of the disintegration of the familiar photographic image at the level of perception and (sensory) cognition and its profound social and political consequences. This richly illustrated publication presents a selection of works from the past ten years. In an interview with Jonathan Pouthier, film curator at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, David Claerbout speaks in depth for the first time about these works in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual. The publication coincides with the Venice Biennale 2022 and solo exhibitions in various cities including Munich, Berlin, Budapest and New York.

Hoewel de kunstenaar werd opgeleid tot schilder, werkt hij vooral met video-, film- en fotografische installaties. In zijn werk concentreert hij zich op het onderscheid tussen bewegende en stilstaande beelden, op projecties waar de tijd lijkt stil te staan en op het onvermogen om met bewegende beelden de evoluerende werkelijkheid te vatten. Claerbouts werk wordt gekarakteriseerd door traagheid en precisie, door het ontrafelen of het bevriezen in de tijd, door de analyse van de klassieke en conventionele verhaallijnen, en het benadrukken van klank en beeld. In zijn grootbeeldprojecties wordt de toeschouwer deel van het werk. Claerbout hanteert de filmtaal om begrippen als beeld, representatie, tijd en ruimte op te roepen en te visualiseren. David Claerbout, werd geboren in 1969 te Kortrijk. Hij woont en werkt in Antwerpen en Berlijn.
