Bill Viola's Videos in Paris Have an Otherworldly Quality That Astonishes
IRISH TIMES
By Lara Marlowe
FRANCE---More than 30 screens are included in the Grand Palais retrospective of [Bill] Viola’s work, some small, some monumental. Human figures advance in slow motion through the heat of a desert mirage, come together and part. Viola’s work is about fire, water, birth, death, journeys, meetings and partings – virtually every human experience except sex. “Viola touches on universal aesthetic forms and themes,” says Jérôme Neutres, the curator of the exhibition, which covers four decades of the preeminent video artist’s work, at the Grand Palais in Paris until July 21st.
