St Peter and Paul's Church, Vienna, Austria, 2015
Curated by David Rastas

"Bill Viola’s video continues the exploration of contrasts established by the tabernacle installation and Abramovic’s ‘Holding Emptiness.’
“I was thinking about light and its relation to water and to life, and also its opposite – darkness or the night and death. I thought about how we have built entire cities of artificial light as refuge from the dark....Darkness is the death of man.” Bill Viola, 1981"
