Douglas Gordon: Self Portraits Of You + Me (Bond Girls)
By
If you are looking for something different to do over the next few weeks, it might be worth checking out this bizzare and somewhat macabre exhibition.
Douglas Gordon has taken images of Bond girls, who starred in 007’s films over the last 40 years, and mutilated them in a sometimes gruesome manner.
The great thing about Gordon’s work is that although he has ripped and burned holes in the beautiful women’s faces, you can mostly instantly recognise who it is, and the shots are so famous, even which shot it is.
Take Shirley Eaton’s golden features shown here, from Goldfinger. Your eyes straight away recognise that it’s her, from that film … but then you see the eyes, the mouth and suddenly she looks like something from a horror film.
A must see in my opinion!
