Few artists have interrogated time, memory, and authorship as
rigorously as Douglas Gordon. For more than three decades, the
Turner Prize–winning artist has redefined the language of
contemporary art through works that fracture and reframe cultural
memory. Filmmaker Finlay Pretsell turns his camera toward the
artist at a moment of personal and creative transition, crafting an
intimate portrait that blurs the boundaries between observer and
subject. Shot over several years, the film defies the conventions
of biographical documentary.In conversation with Lidanoir at
Berlinale, where Douglas Gordon by Douglas Gordon premieres, Gordon
and Pretsell reflect on their collaboration, art, and the tension
between documentation and performance.
