Drawings 

Claerbout creates a small number of drawings with each of his projects as notes to himself regarding problems encountered during film shootings or preparatory studies. According to him: “drawing was what I was best at for putting ideas on paper.”

Showing a great attention to detail, these drawings are usually made before completion of the work. More than simple tools or preparatory sketches, they transcribe onto paper the duration of images—therefore time—through the depiction of movement and film editing.
