Bill Viola - The Reflecting Pool

I am inspired by Bill Viola as a fellow video artist! I especially like this video 'The Reflecting Pool', it has a stillness and slow pace to it that I like, the movement is subtle and slow. There is an element of rebirth to the piece represented by the water and baptism, at the end the man is naked which also represents a certain baptism and innocence to it. Viola uses repetition of images throughout his films and water is a common theme too.
