Paperback. Condición: New. A multimedia installation of films and videos presents the entire oeuvre of Douglas Gordon (Glasgow 1966), one of the most influential figures in video art.In 1999, invited to exhibit at the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw, Douglas Gordon chose to present his entire body of video work created up to that point. The exhibition was titled Pretty much every film and video work from about 1992 until now'ish. To be seen on monitors, some with headphones, others run silently and all simultaneously, it was conceived as an exploration of the concept of the archive: a composite device in which heterogeneous works are connected in a visual and conceptual continuum.This gave rise to the installation of the same name, which has since been reproduced in many exhibition contexts, renewed and expanded, with the addition of more recent works. Douglas Gordon's works come to life through the reinterpretation and manipulation of heterogeneous visual materials, including famous and forgotten films, historical and scientific documentaries, television series, and amateur videos. Through these fragments of contemporary visual culture, the artist evokes a profound sense of alienation, moving between repetition, identity and that uncanny familiarity that Freud defined as disturbing.Through strategies such as sampling, repetition, slowing down, division, mirroring and desynchronisation, the artist dismantles the viewer's expectations and then recomposes them in a new, often ambiguous and destabilising dimension. Imagination, knowledge and common sense are thus shattered and relocated in a visual universe pervaded by subtle tensions and emotional resonances, capable of questioning and fascinating audiences everywhere.Text in English and Italian.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Three decades of Gordon's filmic works compiled in an ongoing archival projectA kind of living catalogue raisonné, this volume charts an ongoing installation project by Scottish multimedia artist Douglas Gordon (born 1966). In 1998, Gordon exhibited, through a heterogeneous cluster of monitors, most of the film and video works he had created in the prior six years. Gordon conceived of the exhibition as the first presentation of an open and unstable archival project--an audiovisual self-portrait that evolves over time, updating itself with each subsequent installation.This volume, published nearly 30 years after that initial exhibition, compiles--as the title makes explicit--most of Gordon's works from 1992 onward. Each work is allotted a two-page spread that resembles the front and back of a postcard: a full-bleed shot from the film on the right and its title and summary on the left. The book melds autobiography, the history of the moving image and reflections on cultural memory.…
