Feature Film : A Book by Douglas Gordon

description

Artist's book by Douglas Gordon with Audio CD. "Douglas Gordon's ongoing fascination with Alfred Hitchcock has led to some extraordinary artworks - from strange letters posted to characters from 'Rear Window' to the well known '24 Hour Psycho.' Now, Gordon's 'Feature Film' focuses on another Hitchcock classic - 'Vertigo.' Using Bernard Herrmann's momentous film score, Gordon has made a new film, concentrating solely on the music of the original, and featuring James Conlon, 'chef d'orchestre' of the Paris Opera. The result is a captivating film in which the music is played out by the dramatic gestures of the conductor's head and hands. This book is published in parallel to the film, and reproduces selected movie stills from both 'Feature Film' and 'Vertigo,' along with a CD, which contains probably the most complete recording of Herrmann's score to date. Texts by Raymond Bellour and Royal S Brown introduce a critical dimension on aspects of Gordon's work and the original music of Bernard Herrmann." -- publisher's statement.
