Description:
As alluded to in the title of the work, this piece mocks the high production values of artist Bill Viola’s video installations. Filmed with a deliberately low tech quality, the scene takes place in an untidy back garden. A man walks into the frame and jumps up, the image of which is then frozen in mid air. Another man enters the frame, walks around the static hovering figure, and then walks off. Then, the first man falls to the ground and leaves.
