Pipilotti Rist's Studio Tour and Scandinavian Retrospective
Pipilotti Rist (born 1962) guides cameras from the Louisiana Museum of Copenhagen through her Swiss studio, a vast space filled with fabrics, costumes, cowbells, screws, plastic waste, and polystyrene. She describes plastic refuse as "instant diamonds," a dented globe as a "tear for global warming," and scissors as a tool to separate "good from evil." The tour includes her collection of underwear, often used to create chandeliers and luminous objects. The museum's exhibition, titled "Åbn min lysning" (Open My Glade), runs until June 23 and is Rist's first major retrospective in Scandinavia, covering her entire career from early television works to large immersive installations with objects and projections.
