Interview with David Claerbout
Studio David Claerbout, Antwerp (February 25 2009).
Since the end of 1996, David Claerbout (born in 1969 in Kortrijk, Belgium) has been creating a body of work that tacks between still and moving images, photographic and digital techniques, and animation and digital image manipulation.
Influenced by phenomenology, David Claerbout investigates our visual perception and memory. In an attempt to convey reality, his work investigates the boundaries of all forms of visual reproduction.
Barbara Dierickx and Rony Vissers of PACKED spoke with the artist about the documentation of his work and his personal contribution to its preservation.
