- Summary:
- 'Birdsong' brings together three video works by David Claerbout - 'The Woodcarver and the Forest', 'Birdcage' and 'Backwards Growing Tree' - each a meditation on time, perception and the poetics of the natural world. In an era dominated by speed and distraction, Claerbout reclaims the longue durée, offering a contemplative, detoxed form of filmmaking. Accompanied by a poem by Stefan Hertmans, this volume explores the myths of digitisation, the rhythms of nature, growth and degrowth. Birdsong is a visual journey through the imaging ideas that the artist has developed over the past decade. Exhibition: Gaasbeek Castle, Lennik, Belgium (27.06. - 16.11.2025).
