Tailleur Du Coeur

Rebecca Horn is a multitalented artist whose kinetic sculptures, films and installations have contributed to her unique international reputation. After The Glance of Infinity, her full scale monograph published by Scalo in 1997, Tailleur du Coeur is a delicate little artist’s book filled with highly poetic texts and watercolors. The short texts written by Rebecca Horn are lyrical and poetic, sharp and soft, mundane and symbolical at the same time. They all depict one special moment in time, and tell us stories of life and passion. The highly sensual watercolors turn this book into a valuable object d’art in its own right. In addition, the texts and the watercolors relate strongly to the artist’s own vision of the politicizing — and poeticizing -of the world. In this beautifully produced volume, everyday reality has found its place in another realm of stillness.
