The video installation entitled ‘Laat je haar neer’, a play on words that means both ‘let your hair down’ and ‘lay her down’, is on view in the stairwell in the entrance area.

To coincide with the successful exhibition ‘Elixir: the video organism of Pipilotti Rist’, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and H+F Patronage have commissioned Pipilotti Rist to create a permanent installation for the museum.

Visitors climb into a rope net in which they lie back and watch Pipilotti Rist’s latest video above them. The ‘Laat je haar neer - initiation video’ is drifting between reason and dream, like the installation is floating between ground and sky. It is also possible to zap to other video art from Karin van Dam, John Bock, Yu-Chin Tseng, Joost Conijn and Fischli & Weiss, which is part of the museum collection.
