导演：比尔·维奥拉   编剧：比尔·维奥拉

主演：

　　Bill Viola's The Reflecting Pool created from 1977 to 1979 is largely concerned with water. The camera angle of this film never moves.

You hear the sound of outside, both airplanes and running wat...

主演：

　　"The idea for Migration came to Viola while he was walking down a street one rainy day in New York. His glasses were covered with raindrops and he saw that each drop was a lens. Everything around him was covered with little hemispherical lenses that contained optical microcosms of the environment. He was surrounded by worlds within worlds . He couldn't see the images in the bea...

　　During Viola's time in Japan he created Ancient of Days (1979-81). This film begins with the sound of cars and an image of fire. You view the fire and when it is extinguished a man nails something to the table which was in the fire. This section seems to be displayed backwards from the original firing.

主演：

　　A succession of individual images focusing on mortality, decay and disintegration, are delineated by long, slow fades to black. The image sequences -- fruit falling from a tree, a candle being extinguished, a family having a flash photograph taken -- appear as a series of openings or momentary glimpses into nature's essential gestures which, like thoughts, are destined to fade ...

Viola investigates the world of illusion and how it is made. He works by slowly discovering the...
