Family matters forced her to go back to Europe, where she died in 1899 in an insane asylum. Her story is told by Eveline Hasler in the novel: Flying with Wings of Wax.

Pipilotti Rist lecture 10/11: Concept work & reliability, humour and hands-on

Characterizing a work of art as ‘feminist’ is dangerous. One might run the risk that the work is categorized as only interesting for women with hair on their teeth. Rist prefers to talk about emancipation in terms of sharing responsibility. She pleas for the development of the whole human that lives inside each body – male or female. In this part of her lecture Rist also pays tribute to a female hero who sacrificed her life and happiness for future generations of women.
