If you know how much I like video art....





Then you know how I wish to experience this exhibit.


Video Installation by Pipilotti Rist

"The Museum of Modern Art in New York commissioned Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist to create a site-specific installation in the museum’s second-floor Marron Atrium. Rist filled the 7345 cubic meter atrium with seven twenty-five-foot-high video projections with a large circular eye-shaped sofa in the center of the floor available for reposing visitors. Rist is well-known for her video works that deal with issues of the body, gender, and sexuality. Many of the images of ‘Pour Your Body Out (7354)’ present a lush amalgamation of femininity: gigantic pink tulips, glistening apples, a pool of menstrual blood seeping from a woman’s crotch." via Art Observed
