About this show
Blurring the boundary between documentary and artistic experiment, this hypnotic film immerses audiences in the world of influential Scottish artist Douglas Gordon. Combining archival footage, disorientating imagery and candid exchanges filled with humour and honesty, the film explores artistic identity and the tension between performance and reality. Moments of illness, anger and emotional vulnerability cut through the film’s heightened visual language, revealing a portrait that is both chaotic and deeply human. With striking sound design and hypnotic pacing, this is an experiential and unpredictable reflection on creativity and selfhood.
