UNITED KINGDOM---american artist bill viola‘s permanent video installation can be seen within the cavernous st paul’s cathedral in london. ‘martyrs (earth, air, fire, water)’ is the first moving-image artwork to be held in a british church on a long-term basis. four color vertical plasma screens are located behind the high altar of the cathedral in the south quire aisle, an area designated for contemplation and meditation. although installed in an anglican cathedral, the works engage with a multi-national audience, keeping with a spiritual environment that attracts millions of people of all faiths.
