Swiss-born artist Pipilotti Rist creates colourful multi-screen video works which, often with the pace and seduction of a pop promo, signal the birth of a new interdisciplinary art form. With such lighthearted artworks as Ever Is Over All presented at the 1997 Venice Biennale (which won Rist the Biennale´s Premio 2000), showing a princess-like young girl blithely smashing car windows, Rist invents new possibilities for poetry, feminine identity and the traditional genre of portraiture. The highly accomplished technological skill reflected in her work since the late 1980s, incorporating in unprecedented ways the art forms of film, music, sculpture and performance, have established Rist among the world´s best-known contemporary video artists. The subtle poetry of Rist´s work is reflected in her two Artist´s Choice selections, the poem Barefoot by Anne Sexton and a short story by Richard Brautigan, as well as in her dreamy diaristic Artist´s Writings.
