David Claerbout's large-format film projections are characterised by extremely slow-motion image sequences created using computer-generated methods.

Moving images freeze into still images. The themes of transience and standstill, especially the majestic unwavering nature of time, take on their own aesthetic in Claerbout's visual language. Based on this, American art historian Russell Ferguson analyses Claerbout's relationship to contemporary photography in his essay and explains his highly precise working method, which often takes years to complete. In a conversation with Thomas D. Trummer, David Claerbout talks about his philosophy and his perception of the world and the present, particularly against the backdrop of the installations on display at the Kunsthaus Bregenz.
