DAWN HOURS IN THE NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE BY PIPILOTTI RIST

Dawn hours in the neighbor’s house is a video installation that stages one of the banal but magical events of daily life: the dawn. Pipilotti Rist has established a living room (the neighbour’s) with furniture, wallpaper, shelves and a window with potted plants.

The 24 hours of the day are reduced to 8 minutes when the living room is illuminated from the balcony. In the evening, the television is switched on with video images recorded by Pipilotti Rist himself. Video images, sound and light thus create different atmospheres, where human consciousness balances on the edge between a dream and waking state.
