Synopsis

Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962, Switzerland) burst onto the international art scene in the 1990s with visually lush video and multimedia works that explore sexuality and media culture through playful and provocative remixes of fantasy and the everyday. Highly accomplished technically and employing dazzling colour, Rist's practice fuses sensual images, music and text to create mesmerising installations. Published to accompany a major survey exhibition at London's Hayward Gallery as well as a European tour, this comprehensive book is lavishly illustrated and conceived in close collaboration with the artist. Essays by Stephanie Rosenthal, Elizabeth Bronfen, Chrissie Iles, Stefanie Muller and Konrad Bitterli explore the many aspects of Rist's art, including the relationship between the body and the camera, and her use of two- and three-dimensional sculptural forms, while a visual essay by the artist provides a unique insight into her working methods.

From the Back Cover

Pipilotti Rist first made her mark on the international art scene in the late 1980s, with witty and experimental single-channel video works. Working with dazzling colour, immersive aural effects and intimate, exploratory cinematography, she has since taken her place as one of the most important video artists working in the medium, exploring themes of female sexuality, mass media culture and the essential beauty of the human body in nature through vibrant large-scale multimedia installations.

Featuring a visual essay specially created by the artist and with texts by Chrissie Iles, Elisabeth Bronfen, Konrad Bitterli, Stefanie Muller and Stephanie Rosenthal, Pipilotti Rist: Eyeball Massage is the most complete and colourful publication available on the fascinating career of Pipilotti Rist.
