This first monograph on British artist Douglas Gordon analyses all of the artist's video projection installations that are based on his appropriations of Hollywood film noir or Hitchcock films, examining Gordon's language works as well. Counter to the usual interpretations of Gordon's work as a dichotomy between good and evil, \u003ci\u003eDouble-Cross\u003c\/i\u003e argues that his work is all about dissemblance, with the dichotomy only one deception among others. It also argues that, with the inaugural separation of the components of sound and image in his work, one of the artist's disguises is that of an author. All the fragments of the artist's work--projections, language works, photography--add up to the production of a criminal author. His final disguise is that of an experimental filmmaker whose subject is not the film noir themes of trust, guilt, fate, and the madness of the double that appear as the content of his work, but the temporality of the spectator's engagement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551319793937,"sku":"GOR003417922","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51514984497425,"sku":"NGR9780921047964","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52130085798161,"sku":"NLS9780921047964","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0921047967.jpg?v=1750704602"},{"product_id":"the-pageant-of-wings-rare-book-douglas-gordon-1622813472ewy","title":"The Pageant of Wings","description":"1938.

He is considered one of the greatest contemporary video artists, and his works are part of the permanent collections of the Tate Modern in London and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Gordon has always been interested in the dual expressive register of verbal communication and images in movement. He became successful through video installations of unusual dimensions that included his texts printed on the walls of the exhibition. This British artist has also worked in the mediums of photography, objects, and film. Gordon is well known for his videos which make use of sequences from famous Hollywood movies, such as a recent installation of a nonstop sequence of Alfred Hitchcock films. Gordon studied at the Glasgow School of Art and at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50649681559825,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50649681592593,"sku":"GOR004946531","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52763059880209,"sku":"NIN9788861300057","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8861300057.jpg?v=1751065814"},{"product_id":"wisdom-in-the-wild-rare-book-douglas-gordon-1730289493mha","title":"Wisdom in the Wild","description":"1934.

Gordon is perhaps best known for installations that feature classic films by directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, and Martin Scorsese. In each of these works the original film has been manipulated--slowed down, mirrored by the use of split screen or dual projection, or had its soundtrack altered--to emphasize the artist's own signature themes, which include trust, guilt, madness, confession, deception, and doubling.Produced in conjunction with a survey of Gordon's work at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the book features essays by MOCA assistant curator Michael Darling, exhibition curator Russell Ferguson, Scottish novelist Francis McKee, and Guggenheim Museum curator Nancy Spector. Darling's essay places Gordon's work in the context of the Romantic tradition. Ferguson's essay looks at Gordon's work to date. It focuses on the issue of trust as it weaves its way from early works such as the performance\/installation Trust Me, through his tattoo and instruction works, to more recent works such as Feature Film, which incorporates the Hitchcock film Vertigo. McKee compiles Gordon's literary sources into a kind of hybridized text. Spector's essay focuses on the autobiographical nature of Gordon's oeuvre, showing how he shifts between revealing details of his personal life--for example, the ongoing List of Names lists all the people he has met in a given period of time---and obscuring other aspects of his identity. Designed by the studio of Bruce Mau in close collaboration with Gordon himself, this book promises to be the definitive reference on one of today's most exciting young artists.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51720881242385,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51720881570065,"sku":"GOR006551151","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262062224.jpg?v=1751037725"},{"product_id":"harlow-la-blonde-platine-blu-ray-dvd-3545020080603","title":"Harlow, la Blonde Platine [Blu-Ray]","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52116312326417,"sku":"DVDB0BHC5QZDYVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3545020080603.jpg?v=1757335503"},{"product_id":"dartmoor-in-all-its-moods-rare-book-douglas-gordon-1776770303dpb","title":"Dartmoor in All its Moods","description":"1931.
