Bill Viola

Auckland Castle, Bishop Auckland, Co Durham

NOW CLOSED

Earth Martyr, Air Martyr, Fire Martyr, Water Martyr

Earth Martyr, Air Martyr, Fire Martyr, and Water Martyr are four individual works by Bill Viola derived from his large-scale video installation Martyrs (Earth, Air, Fire, Water), unveiled at St Paul’s Cathedral, London, in May 2014. Unsettling yet beautiful, these works offer a profound contemplation on the nature of faith, suffering, sacrifice, and death.

Auckland Castle plays host to a major arts installation that evocatively responds to its context, and challenges all your senses and preconceptions about faith.
