Pipilotti (Elisabeth) Rist (born 1962) is a visual artist.
She is best known for creating experimential video art and installation art that often portrays self-portraits and singing.
Her work is often described as surreal, intimate, abstract art, having a preoccupation with the female body.
Her artwork is often categorized as feminist art.
In a 2011 Guardian exhibition review article, Rist describes her feminism: "Politically," she says, "I am a feminist, but personally, I am not.
For me, the image of a woman in my art does not stand just for women: she stands for all humans.
I hope a young guy can take just as much from my art as any woman."
