Title: Bill Viola : Going Forth By Day
Description: Berlin, Deutsche Guggenheim. 2002, Exhibition Catalogue. Hard Cover. Text: English. 136 p.; ill.; 23x27,5 cm. Jacket designer Rebeca Mendez explains : " Bill Viola approached me to design the book for his exhibition 'Going Forth by Day' for the Guggenheim Museum in Berlin. Viola is a video artist, so I gave special consideration to the implications of representing time-based work in a book format. His work explores the idea of the room as an instrument, as a living dynamic space where walls and the empty area they define are an active part of the experience. My thinking was to activate unexpected surfaces and 'corners' of the book through sequence, image, text and materials. Multiple images are full-bleed and placed in a cinematic flow, while vellum sheets with text are interlaced with the images." This is a copy of the edition with violet/silver cover. Good.
