Bill Viola Selected Works

United States /
Exclusive to Adelaide

One of the world’s most important living artists, Bill Viola has been instrumental in establishing video as a vital form of contemporary art. In this exclusive exhibition, the Art Gallery of South Australia, St Peter’s Cathedral and the Queen’s Theatre are transformed into magnificent screening houses for Viola’s work. From the sheer scale of Fire Woman and Tristan’s Ascension to the moving intimacy of Three Women, seven astonishing installations across the three sites envelop the viewer in total image and sound environments that cast Viola’s distinctive light on themes of birth, death, love, anger, ecstasy, suffering and fear.
