Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist first burst onto the British art scene with her video installation, Sip My Ocean, shown at the Chisenhale Gallery in London in 1996. She went on to win the Premio 2000 prize at the 1997 Venice Biennale for the deliciously subversive two-screen video, Ever is Over All, in which a beautiful young woman strolls down a Zurich street casually smashing the windows of parked cars, all the while observed by a smiling policewoman. She is interviewed by Art Monthly editor Patricia Bickers.
