Media, Bill Viola

Bill Viola

Baby- First light we see
         - Seeing and not knowing

Memoria- Darkness
                - Grainy
                - Memory from being a wake at night when he was a child

Space Between the Teeth- Long corridoor
                                          - Zooms into his mouth at the end of the corridoor

A Portrait in Light and Heat- Hot day in a desert and snowy day
                                                 -Filmed in Canada (snow) and Tunisia (desert)

Five Angels for the Mellenium- Inspired by when he nearly drowned as a child
                                                    - Another world underwater

The Passing- This is the video in which he filmed his Mother on her death-bed
                     - Dying from a coma
                     - Said it was 'The hardest thing to do' but did it because he feels 'comfort through video'

He also says that he sees a camera as an 'open eye'
