Born in Grabs, Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland in 1962. Rist completed studies at the School of Design, Basel in 1988. Challenging taboos and stereotypes through representations of the body and of women, arranging exhibition rooms as if they were bedrooms or living rooms to free viewers even from the confining act of looking, and skillfully incorporating sound so that the work appeals beyond sight to hearing as well, she is a rare artist with the toughness and humor to overcome every expressive constraint with ease. She was the representative artist of the Swiss Pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale.
