The Passing 1991
B/W 56 Min.USA
Bill Viola reworks the story of Christ’s death and resurrection in a modern medium but his pieces are dripping in classical heritage. He plays with Renaissance symbolism, drawing directly from early Renaissance compositions and poses - the original paintings on display may be less visceral but are much more mesmerising.
