Description

Note: This work is available for purchase only as part of Point of View: An Anthology of the Moving Image.

Claerbout uses cinematic techniques to create a suspenseful journey through a dimly lit forest that reaches an unexpected conclusion. The DVD includes an interview with the artist by Hans-Ulrich Obrist.

Point Of View: An Anthology of the Moving Image is a DVD series that features eleven leading artists from different generations and cultural perspectives, who are among the most important artists working in film, video, and digital imagery today: Francis Alys, David Claerbout, Douglas Gordon, Gary Hill, Pierre Huyghe, Joan Jonas, Isaac Julien, William Kentridge, Paul McCarthy, Pipilotti Rist and Anri Sala.

The anthology includes eleven separate DVDs in a boxed set.
