The Passing
Dir: Bill Viola
1991
****
I was lucky enough to catch Bill Viola's The Passing at the brilliant Rites of Passage, Art for the End of the Century exhibition at the Tate (Britain) back in 1995. I believe it is part of his 'Tiny deaths' project. I was blown away by it and it's only recently that I've managed to track down this and a few other of his films. It's very much an art installation and a bit odd to watch in your living room but if you're into your video art then definitely give it a go, Bill Viola is the master in the medium.
