The reflecting pool [videorecording] / Bill Viola. [1977-1979]

The Reflecting Pool focuses on the reflections seen on the surface of a pool in the woods. The pool's surface captures both stillness and movement as a man hovers in a frozen, midair leap over the water, while the technique of still-framing is used to form a single coherent image.
