The woodcarver and the forest 5 Feb - 21 Mar 2026 The woodcarver and the forest (2025) by David Claerbout unfolds around two central figures: a solitary woodcarver and the forest that surrounds him.

The woodcarver and the forest 5 Feb - 21 Mar 2026 The woodcarver and the forest (2025) unfolds around two central figures: a solitary woodcarver and the forest that surrounds him. Set in a large house deep in the woods, the film follows a man who spends his days ceaselessly carving wooden spoons, recalling craft practices often embraced as analogue antidotes to screen fatigue and as ways of reconnecting with nature. The slow, repetitive gestures of carving and the soft yet sharp sounds they produce evoke a sense of calm and focused attention, while introducing a subtle irony into the work as it questions comfort, attention, and the mechanisms through which contemporary art seeks to engage its audience. Over the course of the film, which represents two different days in the timespan of 13 years, there is a quiet and constant shift between inside and outside, until it becomes apparent that the forest has almost entirely disappeared. The final day of the 13 years is represented in black and white photographs. Read more
