Museum der Moderne| Bill Viola

The Museum der Moderne Salzburg presents a comprehensive exhibition on the fifty-year career of renowned video artist Bill Viola. The exhibition features a selection of his striking works, which explore existential themes such as life, death, transformation, and rebirth. Viola combines visionary poetics with cutting-edge technology to create visually powerful works that challenge conventional viewing habits. The exhibition focuses on the fundamental conditions and potentials of human existence and explores themes such as the human body, the passage of time, spirituality, and transcendence. Special attention is given to Viola’s video-sound installation “The Raft,” which serves as a universal metaphor for the threats to human life. The exhibition invites visitors to discover Bill Viola’s fascinating works and to engage with the central questions of human existence.

The museum has commissioned 235 Media to handle the technical implementation of all installations.
