Rebecca Horn

"Rebecca Horn is a real pioneer in art by virtue of her multiformity, elasticity, and status as a technical polyglot. But also and above all by virtue of the manner in which she holds together the countless threads of her work, and the way in which she has always developed the theme of the exile from the fable, of that moment in which the fairy within us loses her magic before the onset of madness, becoming a mirage. And on careful thought, while this mirage and this delicate equilibrium do represent the relationship with ourselves and the world around us, they also reflect most of all the relationship dearest to us: that between two people. That often treacherous and illusory--and yet indispensable--dimension, that complete expression of the body and of imprisonment, as well as of freedom. That ultimate expression of the heightened sensory state, and that of the necessary dose of illusion that lies at the heart both of every form of mental love and every form of physical eroticism."

Angela Vettese, excerpted from her foreward to Fata Morgana.

Rebecca Horn: Fata Morgana

Text by Angela Vettese, Iso Camartin. Interview by Doris von Drathen.
Published by Charta/Moontower Foundation

Rebecca Horn is always open to new methods for generating art. In recent years she has combined painting and photography to produce “photo-painting,” in which overpainted photographs are rephotographed, overpainted again and photographed again, in a wild dialogue between spontaneity (paint) and document (photography) that erases or obscures the finality of each successive gesture. “For me, the process of photo-painting is more about writing in a variety of rhythms, from tiny dots to scattered paint that spreads in all directions to swiftly touched marks,” Horn testifies. In Fata Morgana she combines photo-paintings with films produced for two cinematic-operatic works, The Deadly Flower and Fata Morgana. In the latter, Horn's photo-paintings abstractly extrapolate the opera's impassioned narrative as it is replete with bloodshed and lunacy, enacting visual narratives in collaboration with the music. Fata Morgana beautifully records this latest development in Horn's work.

Rebecca Horn: 10 Works/20 Postcards

Artwork by Rebecca Horn.
Published by Holzwarth Publications

The first in a planned series of postcard books, Rebecca Horn: 10 Works/20 Postcards presents works by one of the most highly regarded installation artists active today. Ten of Horn's iconic pieces, mainly sculptural installations, are shown here--each captured from two different angles. This book can be perceived as a publication in its own right, or as a complement to previous publications. But, of course, it also offers itself as a collection of postcards in the classic sense: as a thing of beauty to be passed on to others.
