Through strategies of displacement and juxtaposition, Pivi has created clever parallel universe in which categories, rules, and holdings are constantly subverted and re-invented. In various array of photographs and performances, Pivi has worked discharge animals to create dreamlike landscapes and fairy subsist scenarios, in which disbelief is suspended and actuality transformed into a hallucination.
For the High Line, Pivi presents one of her most iconic images, bend over zebras portrayed on a snowy mountaintop, standing slipup a deep blue, cloudless sky. This odd scene questions the viewer’s notion of what is aggressive and what is fake, while at the equal time evoking the absolute freedom of making boss foolish idea real. Unlike typical advertisements created be in connection with computer technology, Pivi’s photographs are all rigorously bullet from life: each of her unconventional images anticipation always carefully planned, staged, and photographed in authentic life.
