Gordon has often reused older film footage in his photographs and videos. One of his best-known art works is "24 Hour Psycho" (1993) which slows down Alfred Hitchcock's film "Psycho" so that it lasts twenty four hours. In "Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake)" (1997), William Friedkin's "Exorcist" (1973) and Henry King's "The Song of Bernadette" (1943) - two films about adolescent girls driven by external forces - are projected on either side of a single free-standing semi-transparent screen so they can be seen simultaneously. The video installation "left is right and right is wrong and left is wrong and right is right" (1999) presents two projections of Otto Preminger's "Whirlpool" (1949) side by side, with the one on the right reversed so that the two sides mirror each other; by digital means, Gordon separated individual frames of the original film so that odd-numbered ones on one side alternate with even-numbered ones on the other. "Feature Film" (1999) is a projection of Gordon's own film of James Conlon conducting Bernard Herrmann's score to "Vertigo", thus drawing attention to the film score and the emotional responses it creates in the viewer. In one installation, this was placed at the top of a tall building, referencing one of the film's main plot points. In "Through a looking glass" (1999), Gordon created a double-projection work around the climactic 71-second scene in Martin Scorsese’s film "Taxi Driver" (1976), in which the main character addresses the camera; the screens are arranged so that the character seems to be addressing himself. At first, the 71-second loops are in sync, but they get progressively out and then progressively back with each repetition of the whole, hourlong program.
