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artworks in the exhibition and unpublished historical images. Rebecca Horn b. 1944 is one
of the most important contemporary artists on the international scene by virtue of her
transdisciplinary work. She has featured in numerous editions of documenta the Venice Biennale
