Work with Bill Viola

"Sculpting Time", is how Bill Viola describes his art in the catalog for the 2014 Paris retrospective at the Grand Palais.

One of the original pioneers of "video art", he is known for classical evocative moving images. I have had the honor of working as his cinematographer for over twenty years and many dozens of projects.
