Pipilotti Rist: Sip My Ocean and other videos
Lulling the viewer with song and visual, Pipilotti Rist creates a sensual
lure of pleasure with her video installation Sip My Ocean. Beautiful
underwater ocean shots, peaceful submerging figures, and objects slowing
floating down the projected image seduce the viewer's eyes as Rist's version
of Chris Isaak's pop song "Wicked Game" soothes the ears. But
sometimes paradise, love and desire may not be all that they promise.
Also being presented are Rist's videos I'm Not the Girl
Who Misses Much and Pickelporno, providing a brief overview
of her work from 1986 through 1996.
