Working across sculpture, photography, drawing and artist's books, Roni Horn addresses identity, mutability and unease. The title of this book, which accompanies the artist's exhibition of the same name at the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, is borrowed from Patrick Henry, a prominent representative of the American independence movement in the eighteenth century who ended a speech with the famous words: "Give me liberty, or give me death!" By replacing liberty with paradox, Horn nods to her interest in the reconciliation of two contradictory answers, an important aspect in her work, which also relates to her use of doubling or pairs. A seminal example of this is This is Me, This is You (1997-2000), photographs of the artist's niece taken over a two-year period during her adolescence and presented on two opposite walls, or a.k.a. (2008-09), which captures the artist at different moments throughout her life. The catalogue presents the more than 100 works in the exhibition, including drawings from the late 1970s that have never been shown before, as well as a selection of pigment drawings made between 1983 and 2018.Co-published with Museum Ludwig, CologneExhibition: Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 23 March to 11 August 2024Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch
Published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same name at the Louisiana Museum of Art, Humlebæk, Denmark, The Detour of Identity reads the work of Roni Horn through the prism of cinema, revealing an intense psychosexuality that is often submerged under its empirical and conceptual character. Images of Horn's photography, sculpture and drawing are presented alongside stills and excerpts from films by Robert Altman, Carl von Dreyer, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Alfred Hitchcock and Nicolas Roeg, among others. A foreword by Poul Erik Tøjner, director of the Louisiana Museum, introduction by Jerry Gorovoy, exhibition curator, and essays by cultural critic Elisabeth Bronfen, art historian Briony Fer and novelist Gary Indiana clarify the central importance of film to both the making and understanding of Horn's practice. Words, literature and language are often grasped as keys to Horn's art, but by juxtaposing her work with film this book shows that the body, desire, fantasy and sexuality are equally crucial to her exploration of the instability and mutability of identity.
