Bill Viola and his presences from the other world

Bill Viola and his presences from the other world
Ocean without a Shore is the title
of the new project by Bill Viola
who, until 24 November, will be
present in the fascinating setting
of the San Gallo church, near
Saint Mark's Square.
Ethereal, unexpected images of
dead people appear through three
screens skilfully located in the architectonic
spaces of this 15th
century building where the three
stone altars are transformed into
ideal portals of access and linkage
between two worlds: that of the
living and that of the dead.
An interesting, absorbing experience which, through sounds, images and suggestive atmospheres, makes possible a visual and emotional contact with an unknown, invisible world, beyond the tomb, revealing how this acts and interacts with our lives.

Biennale Art by Robert Storr
Jul-25-2007
Think with the senses, Feel with the
mind: art at present. A title such as
this, serving also as a theme, induces
us to think, perhaps with too much
facility, that this is such a wide proposal,
such a totalizing panorama, that
nothing could in any way remain
alien to it.
