Originally conceived as a site-specific video projection for Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea, "Play Dead; Real Time" (2003) consists of two videos projected on two large screens showing a circus elephant named Minnie ponderously performing for an off-screen trainer in the empty, spacious, white-walled gallery room. In each projection the camera circles as the elephant walks around, lies down to play dead and gets up. The footage showing Minnie’s sequences of tricks is simultaneously presented in a front and a rear life-sized projection and on a monitor, with each one depicting the same event from a range of perspectives, including close-ups of the animal's eyes. Gordon also made a film about Zinedine Zidane, "Zidane, un portrait du 21e siècle" (2006), an idea first seen in a film by Hellmuth Costard, who, in 1970, made a film about George Best titled "Football as Never Before." The feature-length film, which he co-directed with fellow artist Philippe Parreno and assembled from footage shot by seventeen synchronized cameras placed around the stadium in real time over the course of a single match, premiered outside the competition of the 2006 Cannes Film Festival before screenings at numerous international venues. "k.364" premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2010.
