"Worry
Will Vanish" takes
viewers into a fantastic dreamscape where the body and nature become one.
Rist’s filmed and manipulated footage is immediately enchanting, as glistening
dew-laced leaves give way to images of the body and its interior, vast oceans,
and a starry sky. The accompanying soundtrack, created in collaboration with
Anders Guggisberg, offers a lyrical and resonantly textured soundscape,
heightening the video’s aura of wonderstruck celebration. Visitors are invited
to recline on pillows to lose themselves in Rist’s cosmos.
