Between Darkness and Light. Works 1989 - 2007
Once you become immersed in one of Douglas Gordon's video installations (b. 1966 in
Glasgow), it can be very difficult to extricate yourself from its hold. Whether they
involve seemingly familiar images, sequences or music from the films of Alfred
Hitchcock, historical documentary footage of patients from psychiatric institutions
- making the viewer more like a voyeur than a detached observer – or elaborate film
productions, his works make recollected material appear familiar and strange at
once. Here, good and evil, life and death, guilt and innocence, the banal and the
sublime are closely entwined, and sometimes cannot be separated.
Douglas Gordon uses
a wide range of artistic and filmic techniques to explore the ambivalent
sensitivities of human nature: images that have been vastly enlarged or reduced,
reflected, inverted, endlessly repeated, speeded up or slowed down, or are brought
(temporarily) to a complete standstill. Videos, installations and photographic works
by th
e artist will be presented in a giant 'black box' situated inside the Kunstmuseum
Wolfsburg's main exhibition space. The exhibition is supported by VOLKSWAGEN BANK
GmbH.
