Douglas Gordon

Douglas Gordon (b. 1966, Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish conceptual artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans film, video, photography, installation, text, sound, and sculpture. Renowned for his explorations of memory, identity, time, and perception, Gordon often recontextualizes familiar images from cinema, music, literature, and popular culture to reveal psychological and emotional complexities. He first gained international recognition with 24 Hour Psycho (1993), a slowed-down projection of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film, and was awarded the Turner Prize in 1996. His work has been the subject of major exhibitions at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Britain, London; the Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Gordon’s works are held in leading museum collections worldwide, and he lives and works between Berlin, Glasgow, and Paris.
