She lives in Barcelona after her studies, where, due to a respiratory ailment, she stays at a health care centre for a long time. There she creates objects that are as bizarre as they are simple, she calls them \"body extensions\". Eroticised prostheses made of soft materials, which are carried by Horn and her associated artists during performances. The artist leads an adventurous and nomadic life, which brings her alternately to Paris, London, New York and Berlin.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eAs of the end of the seventies, more and more mechanical equipment and all kinds of disconcerting machines appear in her oeuvre, and references to occult rituals are embroidered with masks, feathers, wings and prostheses. Her theatrical-poetic imagination conceives a wondrous dream world, filled with emotional fragility and a desire for transformation.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eAt the end of the seventies this constant tension between performance and representation leads to the production of a first feature film – \u003ci\u003eDer Eintänzer\u003c/i\u003e, which is followed by four more films, in which the artist brings sculptures and choreographies from her pictorial oeuvre to life. These are bizarre stories, full of unexpected, surrealistically tinted twists and turns. In these films, her objects gain an increasing independence – they appear as actors next to living persons: hammers hammer away on their own, empty swings swing back and forth, springs move until they come to a stop, with unexpected force and violence. Lifeless objects gain a human inspiration, and people turn into monstrous machines. The mechanised sculptures become pictures of human vulnerability, impotence, aggression or desire. Conversely, the persons in the films lose their intuitive and individual capacities and, in their obsessive behaviour, begin to resemble machines. Above all, these films evoke her mental obsession for the imperfect body and of imploring rites for coping with this.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eDe Duitse kunstenares en cineaste \u003cstrong\u003eRebecca Horn\u003c/strong\u003e (°1944) studeert schilder- en beeldhouwkunst aan de academie in Hamburg. Na haar studies verblijft ze in Barcelona, waar ze door een longaandoening voor lange tijd opgenomen moet worden in een sanatorium. Daar vervaardigt ze even eenvoudige als bizarre objecten die ze “body extensions” noemt: geërotiseerde prothesen in zachte materialen die door Horn en haar collega-kunstenaars gedragen worden tijdens performances. De kunstenares leidt een avontuurlijk en nomadisch bestaan dat haar afwisselend naar Parijs, Londen, New York en Berlijn voert.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eVanaf eind jaren zeventig duiken in haar oeuvre meer mechanische apparaten en allerlei bevreemdende machines op, en worden de verwijzingen naar occulte rituelen gestoffeerd met maskers, veren, vleugels en prothesen. Haar theatraal-poëtische verbeelding schept een wonderlijke droomwereld vol emotionele fragiliteit en verlangen naar transformatie.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eEind jaren zeventig leidt deze voortdurende spanning tussen performativiteit en representatie tot de productie aan van een eerste langspeelfilm, \u003ci\u003eDer Eintänzer\u003c/i\u003e − er volgen er nadien nog vier − waarin de kunstenares tal van sculpturen en choreografieën verwerkt uit haar beeldend oeuvre. Het zijn bizarre verhalen, vol onverwachte, surrealistisch getinte wendingen. In deze films krijgen haar objecten een steeds grotere zelfstandigheid, ze treden als acteurs op naast de levende personages: hamers kloppen uit zichzelf, lege schommels schommelen heen en weer, veren bewegen tot ze met een onverwacht kracht en gewelddadigheid tot stilstand komen. Levenloze objecten krijgen een menselijke bezieling en mensen worden monsterachtige machines. De gemechaniseerde sculpturen worden beelden van menselijke kwetsbaarheid, onmacht, agressie of verlangen. Omgekeerd verliezen de personages in de films hun intuïtieve en individuele vermogens en gaan in hun geobsedeerd gedrag op machines lijken. Bovenal evoceren deze films haar mentale obsessie voor het onvolmaakte lichaam en de bezwerende rites om hiermee om te gaan.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"DE","place":"Michelstadt","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}},{"country":"DE","place":"Berlin","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}},{"country":"FR","place":"Paris","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}},{"country":"DE","place":"Bad König","category":{"en":"Died in","nl":"Overleden in","fr":"Décédé en"}}]}
