Pipilotti Rist lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Her art explores the fantastical nature attributed to pop culture, something that is both familiar, and strangely distant simultaneously. While including herself in the work, Rist conveys a search for identity and truth, and a longing for the unknown. Rist has exhibited internationally, taking part in numerous Biennials and solo exhibitions. For more than a month in 2000, her work was shown on the enormous Astrovision screen in Times Square.

Marijke van Warmerdam is from Holland and had an international breakthrough with her film loops after she participated in the 1995 Venice Biennale. She had shows in P.S. 1 in New York and Daad-Galerie in Berlin, while living and working in both cities for some years. She participated in the World Expo 2000, and her last solo show, in February 2004 took place at S.M.A.K. in Ghent, Belgium. Her most well-known public art piece is her film loop Shower at Schiphol Airport, a man taking a shower that never ends. As a fervent mid fore hockey player when she was a teenager, van Warmerdam now could not be more pleased to catch the buck and pass it on, but before doing so she gives the buck a big slam. Goal! On the following pages, reflections on the works of the previous contributing artist Pipilotti Rist are blown and moved around by Marijke’s gods of wind. She enjoys reacting to as well as anticipating any move or image to come. To her this means, for instance, getting assistance from professional people she likes to have nearby, whether film crews or computer maniacs. She thanks Henze Boekhout for fighting with the air bubbles and expresses her utmost gratitude to Fred Sondaar, who squeezed these photographed soap bells in front of the mouths of her wind gods.
