Description
Technically dazzling, Bill Viola's works are at once grandiose and intimate, complex and surprisingly accessible, spectacular and profoundly human. And all are imbued with a universal humanism.
A major figure in contemporary art, Bill Viola is considered one of the pioneers of the medium of video art.
THE EXHIBITION ITINERARY
The itinerary brings together 18 monumental works spanning the artist's career over the last three decades. Visitors are invited to wander freely, immersing themselves in a visual and sonic universe of unparalleled intensity.
Themes emerge and echo one another like a leitmotif - transition, ritual, connection beyond the grave, life, death, water as a primary element, transfiguration - but the viewers are free to insert their own point of view into the images, and to approach the exhibition without any chronological or thematic considerations, choosing their own path and pace.
Each installation thus offers a universe and a narrative in itself, to be appreciated separately, inviting consideration, emotion and reflection.
Bill Viola's works are an invitation to contemplation, often leading to personal reflection.
