RONI HORN

Roni Horn (Born 1955 in NYC) currently lives and works in NYC and Iceland.​

Her artistic production, which spans for about forty years now, explores the changing nature of art through sculpture, works on paper, photography and books. Roni’s drawings focus on the materiality of the objects depicted, using also the written word at the basis of his drawings and other works. Horn creates complex relationships between the observer and his works, for example by placing a single piece on opposite walls, in communicating rooms or across a series of different spaces and buildings. Horn subverts the notion of “identical experience” by insisting that self-perception is determined by place in the “here-and-there” and by a time in the “now-and-then”. His works also combine the critical relationship between mankind and nature; a relationship similar to a mirror, in which we try to shape nature according to our image.
