Poetic and atmospheric. The exhibition of the moving image artist Pipilotti Rist in Hayward Gallery offers a chance to experience the video works in the intriguing and capturing way. The central theme of the artworks is human body presented as a landscape that can be viewed from different perspectives. The artists makes video installations that resemble film or theatre sets and engage viewers in active participation. The varied way of projecting videos creates a sensuous landscape of objects and images and challenges the way viewers look at and experience not only the medium itself but also the subject matter of human body and its associated taboos.
