Video art: Pipilotti Rist’s I’m A Victim Of This Song/Ich bin ein Opfer dieses Liedes, 1995
I saw this as an installation a few years ago at the MuHKA in Antwerp, but with a completely different - and to be honest, much more beautiful - video. I haven’t been able to find the video since, though; the closest I’ve found online are clips from the “sip/drink my ocean” installation, but none of them are exactly it.
Either way, it was dreamy and mesmerizing and I probably sat there for an hour watching it loop across three walls. Totally defined my stay in Belgium, and remained a poignant moment in my last year as a teenager.
