Pipilotti Rist, contemporary visual artist, is recognizable
by combining psychedelic colors, subtle music and care
for the comfort of her recipients perceptible in arrangements
of her exhibitions with provocative activities undertaken
by the characters in her movies. The paper providing a proposal of interpretation of one of her audio-video installations
entitled Ever is Over All  bases on the thesis, that formal harmony in art enables the viewer to receive the content repressed by culture. It also aims to introduce my concept
of “rainbow harmony”, experience of delightful (“harmonious”) coexistence of intensified and “purified” colors in visual perception and artistic visual performances as a phenomenon culturally rooted, which analyzed in context of contemporary thought evokes problematics of  subconscious structures
of imagination and their interactions with cultural assumptions.
