Instead of paints and brushes, he used video techniques to create images that resonate with the most sensitive strings of human perception. Thirty-two of the most important works by American artist Bill Viola will be on view starting Friday (July 25) at the Centre of Contemporary Art “Znaki Czasu” (CSW) on Wały Gen. Sikorskiego and at the Tumult Foundation headquarters on Toruń’s Nowe Miasto Market Square. The exhibition, titled Visions of Time, accompanies this year’s edition of the Energa Camerimage Festival and is co-financed by the regional self-government.

“Bill Viola was a pioneer in using video techniques in art. I invite everyone to the largest exhibition of this exceptional artist’s work ever held in Poland. In Bilbao, his works were seen by 700,000 people. I hope that the turnout in Toruń will also be high,” said Marshal Piotr Całbecki.

The American artist’s works—moving images created using video technology—are based on philosophical studies and analyses of Old Master paintings. These pieces will fill the exhibition spaces of CSW and the Tumult Foundation, arranged specially for the Visions of Time exhibition.

Bill Viola’s work will be available to the public until December 31. The event is organized by CSW and the Tumult Foundation, with Marek Żydowicz and Kira Perov serving as curators.
