In her own words, Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist uses moving images to ‘discover new ways of configuring the world, both the world outside and the world within’.

Pipilotti Rist: Eyeball Massage was the artist’s first survey show in the UK. Spanning her entire career, it featured single-channel videos, sculptures, photographs, wallpapers and video installations, as well as two site-specific works created for Hayward Gallery.

In Eyeball Massage, Rist’s works were projected onto the floor and ceiling, as well as onto walls, floating screens and objects, and unexpected places outside the gallery.
