Douglas Gordon’s “Phantom”, Galeri Mana
e-flux criticism
2012
“Upon entering Galeri Manâ's large doors, the viewer is greeted by almost complete darkness. A wooden stage is setup with a projection screen diagonally dividing it into two. On the side closer to the door are the remains of a burnt piano and a new Steinway, glaringly juxtaposed. A heavily made-up eye appears on the white background of the projection screen as Rufus Wainwright's voice and music fill up the space.”
