Pipilotti Rist: Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters)

NEW YORK—Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962), best known for her lush multimedia installations that playfully and provocatively merge fantasy and reality, will create a site-specific monumental video, sound, and sculptural installation that will immerse MoMA's atrium in moving images for the first time. Multiple high definition projections comprise a panorama measuring 25 feet high and 200 feet in almost surround, turning the atrium into a gigantic pool of images filled with liquid volume of light and color. Visitors will be able to experience the work while walking through the space or sitting upon a sculptural seating island designed by the artist and Atelier Rist Sisters. Sound by Anders Guggisberg. Organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator of Media, The Museum of Modern Art.
