BILL VIOLA 1951–2024
The unfolding of consciousness,
the revelation of beauty, present even after death,
the moment of awe, the space without words,
the emptiness that builds mountains,
the joy of loving, the sorrow of loss,
the gift of leaving something behind for the next traveler.

NOW AVAILABLE

In 2004, the opera scene was taken by storm by the
ground-breaking production of Richard Wagner's opera
Tristan und Isolde in Los Angeles. This book offers a
behind-the-scenes look at how the visionary American
artist Bill Viola created four hours of video as a visual
complement to this profound psychological drama.
It also tells the story of its commissioning by the then
Paris Opera director Gerard Mortier, who pushed the
boundaries of what opera could be by inviting a trinity
of California-based creatives to re-imagine a
Tristan und Isolde for our times.
For more detailed information, view the book sheet.
Distributed for Mercatorfonds, available through Amazon,
Yale University Press, Barnes & Noble and other booksellers.

The Night Journey (2007–2018), is a collaboration
between Bill Viola and USC Game Innovation Lab,
including award winning game designers Tracy
Fullerton,Todd Furmanski and Kurosh ValaNejad
The Night Journey is one of the first experimental art
games ever made. It uses both game and video
techniques to tell the universal story of an individual?s
journey toward enlightenment.
