David Claerbout in RealTIME

RealTIME addresses the paradoxical tension between time and temporality, between time's claim to normative status and its divergent experience by human beings. The exhibition brings to the fore an aesthetic reading which makes clear how repetition as well as the standstill or expansion of time―aspects that tend to be evaluated in a social context as problematic or even negative―can unfold a productive force. In a world that is increasingly shaped by the acceleration of the technical and social systems, the exhibition searches for concepts of slowness and offers on the basis of aesthetic manifestations – in which time is dissected, dismembered, repeated and brought to a standstill – counterproposals to a temporal presence apparently based on nothing other than breathlessness.
