Doppio stupendo intervento di Pipilotti negli spazi della Galleria Hauser & Wirth, a Londra e a Somerset, come sempre genialità ed ironia.
English
Hauser & Wirth is pleased to announce two exhibitions of new video works by Pipilotti Rist, unveiled in parallel presentations across its London and Somerset galleries.
For her London exhibition, ‘Worry Will Vanish’, Rist has transformed the gallery into a fully immersive, sensory environment. Projected against two walls, ‘Worry Will Vanish Horizon’ (2014) is a journey inside the human body, based on a three-dimensional animation. Rist delights in patterns created by manipulating creases of skin, caressing, pushing and pulling to depict the varied textures of human flesh. These corporeal images periodically overlap with close-up fragments from nature as Rist blurs the boundaries between the self and organic structures. She explores the relationship between internal and external, how individuals are linked to the tissues and blood vessels of other organisms, and in so doing, she suggests relationships with the universe at large.
A second, small-scale video installation, ‘Stone Skyscraper’ (2014) is positioned outside the denim curtain. It is a human-scale structure milled from sandstone with a video projected on the façade.
Hauser & Wirth Somerset will present two new rooms by Pipilotti Rist and an installation of ‘hiplights’ in the farmyard. From summer 2012 through to summer 2013, Rist spent a sabbatical in Bruton, taking part in the first Hauser & Wirth Somerset artist residency. The experience had a profound impact upon her practice, producing new work in response to the surrounding landscape and the people she met.
