The actual work itself is so powerful, it's a shame that some online viewers can't appreciate the full force and strength of this piece.

"Everything in this room right now comes from somewhere else and is just passing through us at this moment and it will continue to live and grow. Ultimately we all come from the stars; our earth, our world, our bodies, our bones, mosquitoes are made from the stuff of the stars, literally, and it just keeps getting reconfigured. It's a profound and very moving thing. " Bill Viola Interview with 'The Spirit of Things'--Radio National--Australia)

"The self is an ocean without a shore. Gazing upon it has no

beginning or no end, in this world and the next."--Ibn Arabi (1165 to 1240)

As Grandpa used to say before we went swimming, 'don't get wet'.

its chilling and almost haunting, but utterly beautiful

[AnniePalanie16]

Inspiring :)

Only I think he should've included a little kid jumping back and forth for the fun of it. It's not just adults that query the threshold between life and death and afterall- they're probably the most inquisitive!

[Endimione17]

Yeah I agree but take a look to Bas Jan Ader's work: it's wonderful

[royalsteven]

Definately creepy. But I love all of his work. One of the best if not best video artists. I saw an exibition of him a long time ago and it was great. I love The Shining of him.

[lupaitaliana]
