Bill Viola (b. 1959, USA)
Reasons for Knocking at an Empty House, 1983
This piece is of interest to me due to its sonic installation in the gallery. Visitor is expected to sit on a chair facing a TV set with large speakers in the corners of the room providing ambient sounds of the video and headphones installed in the chair play unrealistically close and distinct body sounds of the protagonist of the video.
As I am particularly interested in spatialisation of sound, this solution is an interesting reference and source of inspiration.
