David Claerbout
In this film David Claerbout takes us through his practice and the ideas behind the two works, The Close, 2022, and Aircraft (F.A.L.), 2015-21, in Claerbout's first solo exhibition with Esther Schipper during Gallery Weekend Berlin 2022.
On view were two large-scale video projections: The Close, 2022, and Aircraft (F.A.L.), 2015-21. The title of the exhibition refers to the two sides of the brain, which each process information differently, yet complement each other’s functions to create consciousness; likewise, the two works presented in the exhibition have disparate themes, but together represent reciprocal parts of Claerbout’s practice.
