This exhibition presents Pipilotti Rist’s ground-breaking film and video work, from her early single-channel videos of the 1980s to her large-scale multimedia installations and immersive environments, full of kaleidoscopic colours. The Swiss-born artist’s work also embodies the history of new media: the early videos are presented on monitors and more recent works take the form of projections across ceilings, floors, and walls. This is the largest exhibition of her work to be presented in Australia. Find out more about the Pipilotti Rist exhibition from MCA Australia’s website.
