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.
