Born in 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland, Douglas Gordon lives and works in Berlin. Gordon uses a variety of media, including film, text, photography, installation and sound. His practice can be likened to a process of sampling and remixing. His work often involves re-contextualizing found footage and imagery through editing techniques such as slow motion and doubling, as a means of exploring our perception of time and memory. By blurring the distinction between appropriated and original material, Gordon’s pieces re-articulate the relationship between copy and original, text and image. Often epic in scale, his works engage with ethical and existential conflicts such as the struggle between life and death, good and evil, innocence and guilt.
Douglas Gordon is represented by Gagosian Gallery, London, New York, Beverly Hills, Hong Kong, Rome and Athens, Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Zürich and Dvir Gallery, Tel Aviv.
