More quotes by Pipilotti Rist
That is an annoying side of democracy. The pendulum falls often in the extreme, and then we have to bring it back. It's never stable it's a permanent discussion about finding a way back.

When I close my eyes, my imagination roams free. In the same way I want to create spaces for video art that rethink the very nature of the medium itself. I want to discover new ways of configuring the world, both the world outside and the world within
