The most comprehensive monograph to date on the groundbreaking Swiss artist and international art star, Pipilotti Rist

A pioneer of experimental video art, Pipilotti Rist is celebrated for her expansive installations that bridge the spaces between fine art and popular culture, the natural world and the technological sublime. Through vivid colors, audaciously sensuous imagery, and playful sexuality, Rist's art-which ranges from single-channel videos to multilayered environments-absorbs viewers in a hyperfeminine aesthetic interlaced with deeper themes of pain, innocence, and transformation.

Reviews

"This accompanying catalogue is not only truly evocative of the exhibition itself through an inspired choice of images but it is also simply a beautiful object from the humorous, shiny cover to the quality of the paper it is printed on." -Artnet News
