Jeu de Paume in Paris will stage the most extensive monographic exhibition devoted to Stan Douglas in France in more than thirty years. Titled Parallax, the show opens on 20 October 2026 and runs through 10 January 2027, bringing together some forty works by the Vancouver-born artist, made from the late 1980s to the present day. Works on view span film, video installation and photographic series, offering the fullest overview of his practice yet presented in the country. Across these mediums, Douglas has built a body of work that probes how images shape collective memory and how historical narratives are constructed, represented and transmitted. The exhibition title borrows the term for the optical phenomenon in which an object's apparent position shifts with the viewer's standpoint, an analogy for Douglas's insistence that every account of history is partial and contingent. His installations frequently stage literature, music, documentary and fiction against one another, with jazz in particular serving as a lens through which to address race, class and social inequality. Among the pieces selected are the early video installation Hors-champs (1992), the photographic series Crowds and Riots (2008) and Disco Angola (2012), the panoramic photographic work Penn Station's Half Century (2021), and the film installation The Secret Agent (2015). The survey also includes the recent video installation Birth of a Nation (2025), in which Douglas reinterprets D.W. Griffith's eponymous 1915 film, taking apart its images and narratives to lay bare the prejudices they carry. Born in Vancouver in 1960, Douglas has shown internationally for decades and is currently also the subject of Bodies Never Lie at LUMA Arles, which debuts his new film Exquisite Corpse. The Paris presentation is curated by Gloria Moure and Marta Ponsa and is co-produced with the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, where Parallax will travel in autumn 2027. For an artist whose practice turns on the mechanics by which images manufacture reality, the exhibition promises a timely large-scale statement in one of Europe's key venues for photography and moving image.
