In Los Angeles, the multidisciplinary artist Pipilotti Rist is setting up shop at MOCARist is known for her environmental and multimedia installations, combining everyday objects with the magic of film projection. While Dominique Païni situates the artist within the renewal of video art, which appropriates the moving image to expose time as a material, here, it is the fiction of everyday life in the multimedia age that seems to be offered to the public. Rist takes us into a recomposed interior space, a critical figuration where the floor becomes a screen, where tables and garden installations are bathed in the light of the projections, and where LEDs capture us in a cloud of pixels… The screen emerges from the projection room, and from this film. environmental we become the protagonists.
