Douglas Gordon's Cinematic Suspension at Kunsthaus Bregenz
Douglas Gordon's video installations, emblematic of the 1990s intersection of cinema and video, are analyzed by Laurent Buffet for their use of slow motion that suspends both image meaning and temporality. This unique relationship with time and death is key to understanding his new works, derived from performances, exhibited this summer at Kunsthaus Bregenz, featuring trepanned skulls of stars and blood projections on floor mirrors. Part of these works will be shown at Galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris from September 15 to October 13, where Gordon will perform with the electro group Chicks on Speed.
