Pipilotti Rist trapped in hell

I've been thinking of writing a story about Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist's installation I saw a couple of years ago at ACCA, I Packed the Postcard in my Suitcase, and I remembered a lecturer at uni mentioned this small, brilliant and hilarious video of her trapped under the floor at PS1—in hell. It's called Selbstlos I'm Lavabad and Rist is swimming in a lava bath crying out, “I am a worm and you are a flower!” This video was first exhibited in Basel, Switzerland in 1994.

I love this artwork of the rhino with a city on its back by Mike Maka aka MAKATRON (check out his website: http://www.makatron.com) . I first saw a similar version of this while Maka was actually creating it at an intersection on Lygon St near the Melbourne Cemetery. It also became a fave of the character Jake in my book Chasing Light (forthcoming late 2014).
