Pipilotti Rist
Where do ideas come from: I could strongly relate to Rist when she says “There is no rule for when and where I get my ideas – some are survival tactics, some are psychotic tics, some are very well thought over.”
Art as therapy: She goes on to say that the video she made 'challenged and even altered her aggression: “That was my catharsis.”
Colour and meaning: She also says: 'colour is dangerous' and that videos can have painterly qualities.
Video as a moving glass painting: 'The screen is like “a moving glass painting.”' ... for me makes the prospect of making videos as a final outcome much more appealing. How though can I move from fragments of video taken on my phone by my partner to longer pieces? Can I stitch these short maquettes together? (I'm sure I can, if I can find the best software/app and learn how to use it. Does it matter if it's taken on my phone? How about using a green screen? Does it need a narrative, or an anti narrative? The role of the title of an artwork is can definitely be instrumental in the setting or unsettling of narrative. See Narrative and antinarrative?
