At first I set up the background and lighting. I used the shower as I thought it would give the right effect of water falling. I hung the torch from the shower head with some string which created a Viola-esque lighting. To create the background I simply stuck bin liners to the back wall of the shower. The light also reflected off this. Violas pieces are on a much larger scale and he uses 1000x more water. To create something similar to 'Ascension Tristan' I hung a doll underneath the torch.
Bill Viola mainly used actors in his works. This was on a much smaller scale and the closest thing to a human that is accessible is a doll. The light works with the water to illuminate the doll so it almost looks human.
