While videos of Bill Viola need to be viewed from beginning to end, possibly by a spectator sitting on a careful bench in front of the work as a room in a museum, the video artist Pipilotti Rist are watching as a kind of visual and aural carpet, and are often installed by the artist on a background of random internal already furnished (Utrecht, Centraalmuseum, 2001).
The musical component is significant, as already mentioned, the artist was a member from 1988 to 1994 in a rock band (The Reines Prochaines), and collaborates with musician Anders Guggisberg. From the world of rock come many components the initial work of Rist, as is highlighted in the essay included in the history of video art by Federica Tammarazio:

"Since 1990, the late baroque church of San Stae on the Grand Canal is the space where it is presented the second official Swiss contribution to the Venice Biennale. Pipilotti Rist's video shows scenes of the happy but very little bucolic Eden before the fall and is projected over the entire vault of the nave of the church among the figures of saints, martyrs and cherubs that the 'live' silently. The artist has turned most of the sequences in Minas Gerais in Brazil, and the tropical landscape backdrop of dreamlike images with surreal and generic forms of human bodies surrounded by lush vegetation. To watch the film, visitors can recline on the soft foliage of an oversized branch: kind of beds that allow you to look up from a relaxed position. All this is accompanied by an original sound (also developed by the artist in collaboration with other musicians) released from invisible sources. Pipilotti Rist's paradise, unlike in the Bible, is inhabited by Pepperminta and her sister Amber who dance and play without feeling the apparent lack of Adam. Perhaps it is his absence, avert the threat of guilt. Emerged on the art scene in the mid-'80s, with his works, the artist draws a design life of cheerful, courageous and confident, with its youthful naivety almost utopian. Pipilotti Rist, who consider themselves feminist, always offers a central place to women's roles, physical, ephemeral and eroticism are the main themes of his work. " Alessandra
