Stan Douglas’s new video installation Doppelgänger is a highlight of Ralf Rugoff’s 2019 Venice Biennale, May You Live in Interesting Times. Displayed on two translucent screens, Douglas’s looped narrative unfolds in side-by-side vignettes depicting events in worlds that are light years apart. Intercut with abstract passages of color and light that reference avant-garde cinema and the history of space exploration, this smart narrative provokes a feeling of displacement, a continual sense of reversal, doubling, and mirroring.
