Reality and fiction, matter and spirit, subject and object - the artist Rebecca Horn constantly blurs these boundaries. Even the different media she uses are not clearly separated but their interweaving is part of her artistic principle. This catalog, published to accompany the artist's comprehensive exhibition at the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien, is dedicated to this aspect of her work. Essays by renowned authors provide new perspectives on Horn's oeuvre, which spans five decades: from her early body instruments and performances, to her feature films and kinetic sculptures, to her site-specific installations, drawings, and poems. The countless connections to art, literature, and film traditions are illuminated, as well as Horn's proximity to subjects from mythology and myths.
