The elements

The world's leading video artist Bill Viola premiers his latest work Inverted Birth through his first program in China. He brings three video installations together, including Martyrs and Raft. His video and sound installations focus on topics such as life, death, birth and rebirth, and bodies under extreme physical pressure. The movements in his works are extremely slow to show the direct emotions of people confronting massive onslaughts of water, fire or soil in his videos.
