Rebecca Horn

Weisser Körperfächer (White Body Compartments), 1972
The white fabric fans help to hide the body against the pale backgrounds.
In contrast to this, the clothing the person is actually wearing is black- exposing the body when the fans are slightly shifted.











Paradieswitwe (Paradise Widow), 1975
The body is hidden by a 240cm high instrument with internal wing braces that are matched to a woman's figure. Unable to see the figure for the covering, the only reason we know there is a body is due to the positioning of a mirror behind the piece.The mechanism can be moved to reveal parts of the body.






Im Dreieck (In The Triangle), 1973
