Pipilotti Rist – Another Body (2008-2015)

Louisiana poster with still image from the video work, Another Body (2008-2015 ), by the Swiss artist, Pippilotti Rist (b. 1962). Rist is one of the biggest and most popular names in contemporary art. She is known for her sensual, brightly colored and wonderful video works and installations. The poster was published in 2019 in connection with Louisiana's major exhibition, 'Pipilotti Rist - Open my Light'.

In Another Body, you can clearly sense that Rist uses the camera as both an eye and a sense of touch. She herself has stated: "For me, video is like a painting on glass in motion."

At the exhibition in 2019, the internationally recognized contemporary artist had transformed the entire south wing of Louisiana into a brightly colored and sensory-saturated universe. For Louisiana, the museum's guests—and for Pipilotti Rist herself—the exhibition was the culmination of a long and very special relationship. Rist feels so connected to Louisiana, which was the first museum in the world to acquire one of her works for its collection.

She is actually christened Elisabeth Charlotte Rist, but already as a young woman took the stage name, Pipilotti, as a salute to Astrid Lindgren's anarchist and free-thinking Pippi Longstocking. Rist's art can seem both challenging and provocative, but at the same time also full of joy and humor.
