About this exhibition catalogue
Spanning six decades, Rebecca Horn’s transmedia life’s work blurs the boundaries between nature and culture, technology and biology, the human and the non-human. The artist can be described as an inventor, director, author, composer, or poet – but Horn considers herself first and foremost as a choreographer. She describes her practice as precise work with space, light, physicality, sound, and rhythm. Through her work, she seeks to create a physically experiential presence of a visible, tangible, and audible existence. The book accompanying the retrospective Rebecca Horn traces the performative aspect that characterises the artist’s oeuvre from its beginnings to her most recent works.
