Christian Marclay: Doors

Passing through decades of film history and countless portals between on-screen universes, found-footage film installation Doors (2022) is Christian Marclay’s latest cinematic exploration of the meaning behind everyday objects.

In Doors, Marclay stitches together hundreds of short film clips featuring the opening and closing of doors. More than a decade in the making, the moving image collage draws from nearly all genres of narrative cinema ranging from French New Wave to Hollywood blockbusters. The visual narrative follows actors entering new spaces, with each door marking an editing point and transitioning between films and soundscapes. The work suggests a labyrinthine journey where protagonists get lost and found again.
