Publisher's Synopsis
David Claerbout's large-scale film projections are characterized by their extremely slow-motion image sequences that are created using computer-generated methods. The themes of transience and stasis, and above all the majestic, unwavering nature of time, take on their own aesthetic in Claerbout's visual language. In this book the American art historian Russell Ferguson analyzes Claerbout's relationship to contemporary photography, while Claerbout himself explains his philosophy and his perception of the world and the present, in particular against the background of the installations shown at the Kunsthaus Bregenz.
