Pipilotti Rist - Signed Exhibition Poster - Augapfel Massage

2012. 

This hand-signed exhibition poster was designed for Pipilotti Rist’s 2012 solo exhibition Augapfelmassage (Eyeball Massage) at Kunsthalle Mannheim. Hand signed by Pipilotti Rist in white felt-pen, in center. Sheet size : 84 x 59.4 cm. The exhibition, 2012, presented Rist’s immersive video installations, exploring themes of sensuality, perception, and the fluid boundaries between reality and fantasy.

The poster’s bold, psychedelic aesthetic features an iconic still from one of Rist’s video works, portraying a distorted, dreamlike female figure with pixelated textures and saturated colors. The large, circular yellow design element on the poster mimics an "eyeball," reinforcing the exhibition’s title and concept.

Swiss born Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962) is one of the most influential video and multimedia artists of her generation. Her work challenges traditional modes of perception, embracing technology, feminism, and bodily experience in an almost surreal, dreamlike manner. Exhibited at institutions such as MoMA, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou, Rist’s installations continue to captivate audiences worldwide. With Pipilotti Rist’s continued rise in the art world, her signed works are becoming increasingly valuable..
