Although her real name is Elizabeth, she adopted the nickname Pipilotti. Pipilotti Rist studied illustration, photography, and communication arts but she is most well-known for her video art pieces. In her video pieces, which she shoots in super 8, she focuses on sensitive issues such as gender and sexuality. She is a conceptual artist but her video pieces emit a happiness and brightness.
The fact that in her biography Rist wrote "Her favorite number is 54" made me love her right off the bat. I watched the video "I'm not the girl who misses much," and was kind of in shock. She dances around with her breasts exposed and singing in some random high pitched fast forwarded voice. I don't even know what to think of it. Her work is interesting and definately keeps you watching.
