Art in Scotland - Pipilotti Rist

Pipilotti Rist talks about her video installation ‘Show a Leg’ at the Tramway gallery in an edition of Channel 6 Broadcasting’s television show, ‘Art in Scotland’.

Recorded in the gallery Rist says ‘Show a Leg’ is about positive hysteria, our common wish to be special, balanced by a desire not to be crazy.

The programme is illustrated with lengthy shots of her ethereal projected videos in the large spaces of the Tramway, which she describes as a moving poem. The dreamlike images take a deliberately female perspective, the viewpoint of a wild strong human being, on the fine borderline between uniqueness and insanity.

A former stage designer for musicians, the artist tells Robert Morgan about her influences, her use of new technology and her views about the role of art in the age of television and mass entertainment. This video recording lasts 15 minutes and 19 seconds.
