Your Brain to Me, My Brain to You is a new large-scale, site-specific installation by internationally renowned Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist. The immersive video installation is the artist’s first in the Middle East.

Curated by Tom Eccles and Bouthayna Baltaji, the installation invites visitors to embark on a journey of self-discovery through a multisensory experience that inspires introspection and awe. Your Brain to Me, My Brain to You symbolises humanity’s collective unconscious and the power of the mind.

A key feature of the installation is the “pixels” that comprise 12,000 LED lights strung on cables throughout the gallery for visitors to navigate. Representing neurons, constantly firing and communicating with each other, the pulsing resin-encased bulbs have been programmed in choreography with a soundscape and video installation featuring abstract footage of Qatar’s landscapes.

Location: QBEC Gallery in National Museum of Qatar
