One day I took some time to look around the galleries in Chelsea and saw Pipilotti's show at Luhring Augustine gallery. Among all the art works I saw that day, her show was my favorite. I saw Pipilotti's video installation at MOMA once but was not impressed by her work then. However, this time, I was intrigued by one of her installation work. She had three works. The first one in the entrance room has sculptures of everyday objects and a video triptych made out of filmed body parts. The second work in a big middle room was an installation with videos projected through layers of translucent fabrics(I cannot distinguish what the fabric actually is...) You can walk through the layers of the fabrics hanging down from the ceiling. Just walking through the fabrics and seeing the video projected through the layers of the translucent fabrics create a whole new experience...I felt like I could just stay there the whole day! In the last room, she made a chandelier out of underwears and a video is projected on the chandelier. The wallpapers which were patterns made out of her video still complement the the whole installation.
When I left the gallery, I felt like I just came back to reality from a remote place where time is suspended. To fully appreciate her works, one must experience being in the space. I was fascinated by how Pipilotti was able to use the whole space in the gallery and transform that space to such a bizarre, engaging place.
