The so-called 'pixel forest' is made up of 3,000 LED lights, suspended by plastic cables that twist like vines
have made the show -- and its recurring theme of human connectedness -- more relevant than ever. Rist herself experienced isolation while preparing for the exhibition, spending 21 days in quarantine last year in order to enter Hong Kong and get a feel for the gallery space.
Rist created two entirely new works for the exhibition. Outside, a massive projection transforms the former prison yard in which the gallery is located into a"glade in the city," where Rist hopes people will gather and connect in person.And inside, the new"Big Skin" intallation ties together the exhibition's central metaphor: membranes.
For Berger, the authenticity of Rist's art is part of the charm -- because, despite its surrealism, none of it is computer-generated."I think that's what the fascination is, why people are so attracted to her work: There's nothing fake, everything is real," he said. "Water Tiger Colour Balm" is an outdoor video installation, created for the space outside the JC Contemporary Gallery in Tai Kwun, Hong Kong.The final room,"The Apartment," gives a former woman's prison cell the appearance of a home: A dining table and chairs, a sofa and sideboard, and a day bed, are surrounded by the clutter of homey trinkets, many of which are from Hong Kong, and a painting by a local artist.
