The title of The Morning After the Night of Power refers to a passage of the Koran in which angels descend from the heavens to impart the divine inspiration to followers The central image of the tape is a blue vase standing motionless on a table This object is framed by a dramatic interplay of light shadow and movement which is registered by a fixed camera over an extended period of time Writes Viola As the condensed stillness of pure duration becomes activity events hover at the edge of awareness until a final culminating action of transcendent liberation
DirectorBill Viola
