Modern Art Series: Douglas Gordon

Douglas Gordon earned a reputation for making art from pre-existing materials, most spectacularly in the case of classic films. Gordon's blatant creative 'kidnapping' of movies is best illustrated by 24 Hour Psycho (1993), in which the effect of stretching the iconic Hitchcock thriller to a day-long and silent screening challenges our understanding of the original version and the psychic themes it probes.
