The Sydney International Art Series presents a major survey of Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist, from early single-channel videos of the 1980s to large-scale audio-visual installations and recent immersive environments; showcasing Rist’s continual exploration of the symbiotic relationship between nature, the body and technology.
‘Sip my Ocean’ seductively lures the audience into colourful and hypnotic realms, allowing them to dive into an underwater world, stroll through a magical forest of hanging lights or enter a floating maze of translucent fabric.
