Intricate and emotive, Stan Douglas’s film installations are concerned with complex psychological states such as collective memories, forgotten histories, and social alienation. His recent project Journey into Fear derives from two sources–the 1942 and 1975 films of the same name, and Melville’s late novel The Confidence Man–and presents an endless array of possibilites, juxtaposing repetition and novelty, destroying conventional senses of time, and trapping the viewer in the haunting world of the film.
