Rebecca Horn, born in 1944, passed away at 80, leaving behind a legacy of innovative exploration of the human body through diverse artistic forms.
Horn's output plays with the possibilities and limitations of the human body; her work is infused with poetry and pain, connecting deeply with personal experiences.
In her pivotal series, Personal Art, Horn created body-modification suits made from bandages and feathers, described as 'wearable sculpture', addressing themes of illness.
Her installation, Ballet of the Woodpeckers, included small hammers that tapped mirrors, allowing long-term hospital patients to interact with external visitors in a unique way.
