My Take

Douglas Gordon is one of the few contemporary artists who genuinely rewired how I think about time and attention. Stretching Hitchcock's Psycho across a full 24 hours is such a simple gesture, yet it turns watching itself into the subject; it gave me chills the first time I understood it. He is labelled painter, photographer, sculptor, but I read all of it as one obsession: the slipperiness of memory and perception. Winning the Turner Prize in 1996 felt less like a coronation than a warning that this Glaswegian would keep unsettling us. Based in Berlin now, he remains, to me, beautifully untrustworthy in the best way.
