Rebecca Horn

Artist Rebecca Horn sees herself as an inventor, director, author, composer, poet, and, first and foremost, a choreographer. She uses the idea of embodiment and creates symbols to express the interconnectedness, at a technical and physical level, between her first works on paper in the 1960s, her early performances and films of the 1970s, her mechanical sculptures from the 1980s on, and the large-scale installations she embarked on in the 1990s. Horn repeatedly uses the language of dance as a medium and catalyst for her choreographic fictions. The catalogue shows a selection of her works spanning six decades and includes installation shots of her artworks in the exhibition, and unpublished historical images.
