Movie

Inverted Birth

American video artist Bill Viola explores the life cycle as an enveloping whole instead of the hegemonic view of life as a linear progression. The artist considers human beings' existence on earth as a cycle where the beginning and end may be the same. Projected onto a screen more than seven meters high anchored to the floor, "Inverted Birth" depicts five stages of human awakening through a series of violent transformations.
