HORN RONI RONI HORN THE DETOUR OF IDENTITY

An overarching theme throughout Roni Horn's diverse practice of photography  sculpture 
drawings and books is without doubt identity-of the self and others-as seen through gender  the
body  experience  time and the landscape. The Detour of Identity  conceived by Jerry Gorovoy 
curator of a major exhibition of the same name at the Louisiana Museum of Art  Humlebæk 
Denmark  creates a dialogue between great movie classics and Horn's work to consider the
shifting facets of identity. Stills and dialogue from films inspirational to Horn  from Carl
Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc to Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Ingmar Bergman's
Persona  appear alongside her work to reveal a wealth of connections-how Horn uses cinematic
approaches like cutting and splicing in her drawings  and close-ups in her photographs  or how
the play of mirrors and the duality of characters (lost  mistaken  stolen identities) in films
reflect the visual pairings of her art and conceptual pairings such as place displacement 
sameness difference  desire fear. Fascinatingly  Horn herself does not make films. Rather  it
is the transformation of filmic structures and sensibilities within her vision that makes the
artist's exploration of identity even more paradoxical  complex and compelling. Co-published
with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art  Humlebæk
