Since Bill's Work will be shown at the pitzer college gallery, i thought i would give Bijma's I.E. viewers an idea of what their in for. This video will not be shown, but i believe it gives one a general idea of what Bill's work is like.
Bill Viola's Anthem:
http://www.ubu.com/film/viola.html
These are images, "all centered on the theme of primitive fear of the dark, materialism and the harmful separation of body and mind" (Bill Viola).
"The child's cry reflects the rumbling of the town, the flaming factory chimneys, a surgical operation, a torn living body from which flesh is being removed, revealing the heart beating vigorously. This cry, which functions as eyes, crystallizes and dismembers the flesh of the image, removing it to a terrifying twilight world. "
