This borderline-fanatic certainly has a smidge of OCD about her, but the very best kind! Here are some shots from her pink collections, though more in green can be found at her website.

Pipilotti Rist

Interior Space at MoMA designed by the wonderful Miss Rist: Architectural space turned organic animal body. I'm sure photos do it no justice but the idea is beautiful.

"The deliciously named Swiss miss Pipilotti Rist, who for two decades has been ravishing viewers with her fiesta-colored video visions, has risen to new heights of trippy bliss. Her opulently beautiful 25-by-200-foot wraparound video at MoMA—complete with two round breast-shaped projector pods protruding from the walls and close-ups of pink tulips, a black pig, and a fleshy nude—is catnip for the eye and a hormonal rush for an institution badly in need of one. It is one of the most seductively rebellious artistic gestures since Lynda Benglis’s notorious Artforum ad in 1974, for which she posed naked wielding a dildo. Benglis’s action slapped a biased art world awake; Rist’s Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) suspends us in a primordial sea of liquids, and performs a metaphysical sex change on the Museum of Modern Art. The atrium of this bastion of masculinism becomes a womb, and the museum itself a woman. In an abstract way, Rist makes the institution ovulate."
 
Another installation by Rist - similar relationship between building and body. I love this!
