Pipilotti Rist is a Swiss artist and musician who scripts and produces her own videos, sometimes appearing in them herself. Her work frequently employs the seductive visual techniques of cinema and television to create emblems of feminine experience. She draws an analogy between her medium of video and a woman’s handbag as compact container of both artifice and personal expression. Following this comparison, the art of Pipilotti Rist investigates the “handbag” of the psyche, and in the process reveals its contents.
