David Claerbout plays with the boundaries that separate film, painting, and photography. Like a sculptor, he shapes time through compressing and slowing down images, offering viewers a sense of dilated time.
Wildfire is a video installation of a forest fire. In it, nothing seems to stop the camera’s almost imperceptible movement through the silent, blazing landscape. Even though none of it is real, Wildfire is both a meditative contemplation and a warning for the future of our fragile ecosystem.
