Swiss artist and filmmaker, Pipilotti Rist is a video artist, musician, and professor who's work focuses on the unpredictable, the fantastic and the surreal. Rist focuses her attention on work that invokes audience interaction and reaction. She often encourages viewer response in hopes of creating a conversation.
I first discovered Rist 3 years ago, but to be honest I did not look very hard to far into her work. I came across something that I had written about her recently. It was a very shallow semi review of her work. Looking at it now the only thing I had nailed about her was her name. Her work with video is unlike anything I have come across to date. It is fun, and full of humor. She works around the taboos of what is appropriate and shatters all premeditated thought.
Her work is often full of vibrant color and upbeat music which seperates her from many of the contemporary artists I have reviewed to date. Especially her recent film Pepperminta.
