This box includes images of dreams, saints, dreams and ideas of paradise. Rist is renown for her mesmerizing slow-video installations that are mixed with visual art, music, architecture, and social politics. Her work features often erotic and uncanny images of her own body. She states on one of the inlays: ‘The body is a planet. It wants to be a paradise. Paradise calms down fever’
This box was published on behalf of the Venice Biennale 2005 in which Pipilotti Rist represented Switzerland with a solo exhibition. All loose items may be considered as artist’s publications, apart from the colophon insert.

A second and final run doubled the original edition of 300, here number 281 i.e. part of the first run. Apparently publisher ICA had second and third thoughts when it came to a final edition number. It first decided to extend the edition from 300 to 500. Then another 100 were added and presented as a final second run of 300 copies. Below you will find a screen shot of their website made on 7th of December 2019 and a screen shot d.d. 4 March 2020.
