黑料不打烊

For ten years, Christian Marclay collected film clips in which doors open or close. In the video installation Doors (2022), he edits them so that actors appear to walk, via an apparently infinite succession of doors, from one space into the next. Each cut occurs precisely at the moment someone passes through a doorway, granting access not only to the next film fragment but also to its new soundscape. Thanks to the virtuoso montage, the work unfolds as an almost labyrinthine odyssey, door after door.

Chrisitian Marclay鈥檚 moving-image collage Doors draws on clips spanning genres and eras 鈥� from silent cinema and the French New Wave to contemporary Hollywood blockbusters, in both black-and-white and colour. His montage connects dozens of film scenes via doorways in an endless loop, with no clear beginning or end. He creates a flow, an illusion of continuity, and a visual narrative that follows actors as they continue to walk through doors to ever-new spaces. Each cut transitions to a different film, allowing the actors to navigate endless passageways, architectural spaces, and time planes. Doors thus takes you on a journey through the boundless world of film.
