Author: Francesco Stocchi
A 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.
