The first work in the exhibition is Kleines Vorstadhirn von Rotterdam (1999/2009). It is a melancholic monologue by Pipilotti Rist herself. The classic work on the often melancholic character and conduct of artists throughout the centuries is Born under Saturn, written by Rudolf and Margot Wittkower and originally published in 1963.

Pipilotti Rist's exhibition Elixir is a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’. By fusing nine individual installations, Rist transformed Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. The Netherlands. The exhibition’s floor plan resembles a living being, with a stomach, heart and lungs. This video organism has grown organically from Rist’s lively oeuvre. In a conversation with the museum’s director Sjarel Ex, Pipilotti Rist talks about the role of museums and art, about color, the beautiful landscapes behind the lids of one’s eye and the double meaning of the naked female body in her work.

I found this information helpful, but also very original. Especially the “one thing” step, I have never heard it put that way before, but I will be sure to use it often. Thank you for the advice!
