Suspended Time: The Becoming of the Image in David Claerbout

On the occasion of the solo exhibition Five Hours, Fifty Days, Fifty Years at Konschthal Esch, a special talk will bring together artist David Claerbout, guest curator Ory Dessau — author of the main essay in the book dedicated to the artist’s work published by König Books — and co-curator Christian Mosar.

This conversation offers an in-depth exploration of a body of work that profoundly questions our perception of time, image, and memory. Blending experimental cinema, video installation, digital animation, and live streaming, Claerbout has developed a singular practice at the intersection of visual and sensory experience. The discussion will notably focus on his latest creation, The woodcarver and the forest, a performative and evolving work conceived to unfold over several years.
