This installation introduces many of the important themes in Gordon's work: recognition and repetition, time and memory, complicity and duplicity, authorship and authenticity, darkness and light.

"For 24 hours straight, Washington's Hirshhorn Museum screened Scottish artist Douglas Gordon's video and installation work 24 Hour Psycho. The project slows Hitchcock's classic 1960 film down to a glacial pace, stretching what was originally a 109-minute movie into a day-long art event." [1]
