Pipilotti Rist
Pipilotti Rist (born Elisabeth Charlotte Rist in 1962 in Grabs, Switzerland) is a pioneering Swiss visual and video artist whose groundbreaking work in experimental video and immersive installations has been influential since the mid-1980s and continues today. Rist began making art videos and films while studying art and design in Vienna and Basel in the early 1980s, and by the late 1980s she was already exhibiting internationally, with major recognition coming throughout the 1990s with works such as Ever Is Over All (1997) and Sip My Ocean (1996). Her work — vibrant, surreal, and deeply sensory — blends color, sound, and space to explore the body, emotion, gender, and perception, inviting viewers into environments that transform traditional gallery experiences. Rist remains an active and influential figure in contemporary art, with exhibitions and new projects continuing into the 2020s.
