Bill Viola

The picture on the left represents a slow relaxed agonizing death. The flames are slowly rising up to Viola's body. While he seems conscience of what is happening to him. The flames seem to be consuming him, while nothing seems to be frustrating him. It seems like hes enjoying the flames in his body by the way hes pulling his arms to the sides. Viola shows how nature can destroy every human being. Viola shows how these videos are experiences some humans go through in life while some people can be conscious of what is happening to them. The black background shows the other dark world that is waiting for him once the flames consume is body entirely and dissaperars.

The picture on the right shows waterfalls heavily from above until Viola dissapears in the flood. Viola looks like hes renewing his soul in clear waters to purify himself and his heart. Seems to be renewing himself again in life away from the past and starting a new renovation in his life. The experiences shown in his video shows experiences that are common to society for example the renewal of the spirit by baptism, and discover one's own consciousness. This is what Violas video illustrates. This pictures make me feel an experience with death but after death it makes me feel an experience of a second opportunity in life. It makes me feel that every human being has a second opportunity in life.
