These are some stills from an artist called bill Viola, who
has creates some amazing installation works this particular one is called ascension
and grabbed my eye after being shown it in a visual studies session, I think
the reason they got my attention so much is just because of how dramatic the
images look, the motion in them with the water being displaced, creating
amazing shapes and pockets from where the person has hit, creating the shield
like effect of air around them, and how you have the deep blues around the
subject then it quickly fades to pitch black creating this void look to the
rest of the images, or even a space feel to them, but as well as that they feel
a little bit religious to me with the isolation of the floating figure, and the
name itself, so I’ll be putting a more detailed look at Viola into my personal
work because of thinking of doing an installation type thing with my personal
work, and I feel I can rework some good ideas from him.
