It is rather his artistic reaction to the impressive book and its approach to remembering atrocities.This accompanying publication presents a selection of film stills along with text excerpts from Jonas Mekas' accounts.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, I Had Nowhere To Go: by Douglas Gordon at documenta 14, Athens (8 April - 16 July 2017), and at documenta 14, Kassel (10 June - September 2017).
