| book description |

Building on themes from his acclaimed monograph The Silence of the Lens, artist David Claerbout’s latest work, The Woodcarver and the Forest, explores the delicate interplay of creation and destruction, solitude and connection. Set against the evocative backdrop of Kasteel van Gaasbeek, a mesmerising video installation seamlessly blends stillness and motion, offering a profound meditation on time, patience, and our deep, intricate bond with the materials we shape. In addition to the new film, the book presents a curated selection of David Claerbout’s works, seamlessly integrated into the historic rooms of Kasteel van Gaasbeek. Set against the backdrop of a vast forest, the castle’s rich 19th-century neo-style architecture, adorned with intricate woodwork, creates a dialogue between past and present, craftsmanship and nature. Text in English, French and Dutch.
