An amazing and fundamental boxet with 3 DVD and a book featuring Hatsu-Yume, considered by many to be Viola's finest work, a spiritual allegory equating light and dark with life and death. The title refers to Japanese folklore, wherein things done on the first day of a new year are significant.  I Do Not Know What It Is I Am Like is an epic journey in five chapters, as well as a personal investigation into the inner states and connections to the animal consciousness we all possess. In a stream of images of striking clarity, depth and beauty, woven within a subtle fabric of natural sound, Viola creates a timeless view of the natural world and our place in it. The Passing, an important and accessible work, in wich Viola speaks eloquently to human experience at its most profound a meditation on the passage of generations. This one-hour video is a landmark of twentieth-century visual narrative as well as an expression of spirituality that is both deeply personal and universally understood.
