Douglas Gordon

Douglas Gordon's work has been shown extensively in Europe and America and has won many prizes. His acclaimed 24-Hour Psycho slowed down Hitchcock's thriller to two frames a second, setting up new tensions and narratives so that any previous memory of the film is confused. This substantial book brings together for the first time all Gordon's text works including postcards, t-shirts, tattoos, short stories, instructions, and letters. These are presented alongside a wide variety of his visual creative source material. It follows a number of inventive books Gordon has produced. He has previously worked with Bruce Mau on a book to accompany a major exhibition of Gordon's work at the Kunstverein Hannover in 1998. Bruce Mau is one of the world's leading graphic designers. Based in Toronto, he has worked extensively with the architect Rem Koolhaus, including cooperating on the celebrated book SMLXL.
