Doors: Christian Marclay

At the white cube with fellow students, I have a No22 door in Brixton, thus I especially liked this piece which is a companion to the film ‘doors’ a wonderfully crafted edit of doors, entrances and exits from french british and hollywood films.

I loved the pace of the film , going through doors finding the expected/ unexpected/ unwanted/scary/ nothing.

the star of the edit is the sound, perfectly cut to create tension. I loved all the fragments, playing at identifying actors, styles, films, and so wanting to know what they all discovered on the other side of the door

I also had a lot to think about the market in non fungible art, ‘Doors’ must be a formidable expensive piece to make, I cant believe the sale of books and the few chopped up doors shown upstairs in the White Gallery covers the cost of the film.

i didnt think about identity at all in the White Cube
