Felix Gonzalez-Torres next to Frances Tanzer
A Woman in a Formal Dress in an Italian Garden, color photography by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, no date (approx. 1908-1914).
His process used a camera that took a series of three monochrome pictures in sequence, each through a different-colored filter. By projecting all three monochrome pictures using correctly colored light, it was possible to reconstruct the original color scene. Any stray movement within the camera’s field of view showed up in the prints as multiple “ghosted” images, since the red, green and blue images were taken of the subject at slightly different times.

Première monographie de l’artiste centrée sur ses dix premières années de travail, elle réunit des portraits de son groupe d’amis du Lower East Side. Skaters, graffeurs, musiciens posent devant l’objectif, effaçant les barrières entre privé et public et dessinant une forte conscience de soi, révélant ainsi combien la photographie réussit à transmettre une identité. Chez Twin Plams Publishers.

- Me: Come to think of it, all I've eaten today is a muffin from Manic, but it was really big, and a third of a cucumber...that's pretty bad.
- Kyle: A muffin and a cucumber? What are you, a white girl?
- Me: Well what have you eaten today?
- Kyle: ...Some crackers with peanut butter. A pear.
- Kyle: Oh and a rice cake.
Rist’s installations consist mainly of videos, sculptures and recreations of environments that can be extremely immense yet extremely small; extremely beautiful yet extremely repulsive.
Suggestive moving images are projected onto the walls, floor, ceiling, screens and objects. The visitor must walk over them, sit on them, stand in them, kneel or lay down on the carpet and relax on dressed, body-shaped cushions in order to see them properly. There are huge wall-sized screens, tiny LCD-screens hidden inside handbags and seashells, videos projected onto a chair and a vase of flowers, as well as images screened on floating curtains and in miniature houses, a chandelier made of underwear and a horizontal pyramid sticking out from the wall.
All these video installations share the same motifs and usually display flowers, trees, animals, people and especially parts of the human body, both internal and external. In their simplicity, by shamelessly showing a nude and primitive universe, free of cultural and social taboos and restrictions, Rist presents the world in a new perspective and manages to convey an incredibly positive energy.
