without a shore. Gazing upon it has no beginning or end, in this world
and the
next. ”. These words by the Andalusian mystic Ibn Arabi (1165-1240)

Bill Viola’s inspiration for his work Ocean without a Shore, which he

at the Venice Biennale in 2007, and which was the origin for his series
Transfigurations. The three works on display at the Museo
Picasso Málaga are part of this series.  On
exhibition through 12 September,

Málaga, with
the collaboration of the artist Kira Perov and the Bill Viola Studio,
