Pipilotti Rist – Gravity, Be My Friend

Wednesday Oct 1 / Accelerator – Frescativägen 26A

(Exhibition open 13 sep – 8 feb)

Accelerator presents the exhibition Gravity, Be My Friend by Pipilotti Rist. This large-scale audiovisual installation takes up one of Accelerator’s two galleries. As a visitor, you are invited to lie down on large islands of mats and immerse yourself in sound and film projected onto amorphous structures in the ceiling.

About the exhibition

When the work Gravity, Be My Friend was made, Pipilotti Rist’s artistic investigations centred on how we experience the moving image when lying down. She worked with situations where, in her words, we can be ‘gentler with ourselves’. When lying down, our muscles are more relaxed, which in turn affects the way we think, see, and experience.

During the evening of October 1, the exhibition will be open exclusively to the Cinema Queer audience and you’ll get an intro to Pipilottis work by the curator Richard Julin.
