Rebecca Horn was known for her surreal and sensual art machines that combined musical instruments, bird feathers, and mechanical engineering, creating a unique artistic identity.
Horn's early works reflected the Fluxus movement, where she innovatively used costumes like the Unicorn, taking performance art into public spaces and challenging conventional art forms.
Her installation work often incorporated sound, as seen in Turtle Sighing Tree, which used copper pipes to emit screams and wails in various languages, highlighting cultural and individual fears.
Reflecting on her roots, Horn noted the complexities of language in her life, saying, 'We could not speak German, Germans were hated,' emphasizing her innovative use of art as expression.
