"1964年，我20岁，住在巴塞罗那的那种按小时收费的酒店里。我的工作是制作玻璃纤维，不戴任何面具或其它，因为没人告诉我那是危险的。突然一天，我病倒了，整整一年我住在疗养院里。我的父母死了，我完全的被孤立了。这时，我开始了我的第一件身体雕塑。我可以躺在床上缝纫。"

                                                                      -----丽贝卡.合恩

Rebecca horn，1944年出生于德国。她毕业于汉堡的Akademie der Kunste，除了雕塑，Horn制作影片并经常与编写文字为自己的雕塑创作注释。

Horn早期的作品主要是对人类身体的一种延伸或附加。有尖长的头，肩膀和手指的延伸，羽茧，面具和各种约束或为了强调身体活动的布条。

她后期的作品包括容器，经常是装满液体的玻璃。这些通常是和其它物件组合的大装置作品，尤其是机械的。

比如，《月亮河》：一个情人的房间，充满了小提琴，机械和床。这是1992年在巴塞罗那半岛酒店内拍摄的。这个题目，这些由提琴声和酒店房内景色联系起来的浪漫；这些古怪的小提琴好像是在跳舞。就像是房内的情侣已离开了房间，留下的只是对他们记忆的画面的残渣。

除了在酒店内制作装置，她也在学校，海滩和一个曾经接受过战犯的城堡制作作品。

Rebecca Horn

‘In 1964 I was twenty years old and living in Barcelona in one of those hotels where you rent rooms by the hour. I was working with glass fibre, without a mask or anything, because nobody said it was dangerous, then suddenly I got very sick. For a year I was in a Sanatorium. My parents died. I was totally isolated. That’s when I began to produce my first body-sculptures. I could sew lying in bed.’

Rebecca Horn was born in Germany in 1944. She attended the Akademie der Künste in Hamburg. In addition to sculptures, Horn has made films and often writes text to accompany her sculptural work.

Horn's early work was mainly appendages or prosthetics for the human body. There are long pointy head, shoulder and finger extensions, feather cocoons, masks and fabric strips that inhibit or emphasize bodily movement.

Her later work includes vessels, often glass, filled with liquid. These are sometimes part of a larger installation of various objects, especially mechanized ones.

The example here, River of the Moon: Room of Lovers, is comprised of violins, motors and a bed. It was photographed in the Hotel Peninsular, Barcelona in 1992. The title, the use of a hotel room and the sound of violins conjurs images of
romance; the whimsical placement of multiple violins brings to mind dancing. It is as if the lovers have left the hotel room and we are left with a visual residue of their memories.

Besides creating this installation in a hotel, Horn has also used a school, a beach and a tower where war prisoners were once tortured as sites or her work.

«Berlin Exercises in Nine Pieces: Exercise 6: Rooms Encountering Each Other»

Assisted by a mirror outfit, Rebecca Horn stages a game with perspectives which also becomes a collage of different parts of the body.

«Berlin Exercises in Nine Pieces: Exercise 1: Scratching Both Walls at Once»

Rebecca Horn uses the «Finger Gloves» object to measure the dimensions of an interior space. The scratching of the body extensions is audible.

«Berlin Exercises in Nine Pieces: Exercise 8: Cutting One’s Hair with Two Scissors at Once»

In the first part of this final performance in the series, the actor Otto Sander reads out a passage of text. In the second part, Rebecca Horn cuts her hair. The simultaneity of her two hands' actions, the metallic clipping of scissors, and her resolute stare into the camera heighten the atmosphere of menace.

The Text of Otto Sander:
Tongues flickering, their heads move back and forth until the scaly skin beneath the throat is touching. The instant physical contact is established, they begin to entwine. The aggressive fighting dance of the two partners is characterized by a gradual, mutual loss of momentum and the beating against each other of their forebodies. The jerkily undulating bodies wind so tightly round each other that the two snakemen merge into a single body whose two heads move back and fro in parallel. The fight is decided when the stronger animal has pressed his opponent down against the floor.

Rebecca Horn
«Berlin Exercises in Nine Pieces: Exercise 4: Keeping Those Legs from Touching Each Other»

A black-garbed couple engaged in an attempt to move so synchronously that their legs, which are bound together by white tape, stay stuck together. 'Traitorous acts' – asynchronous movements – are inevitable, but the magnets fixed to the couple's legs unfailingly re-unite them.

Rebecca Horn
«Memorial Promenade (Buster's Bedroom)»

The film 'Buster's Bedroom' is about two women, one of whom voluntarily and the other involuntarily loses her freedom of movement. The actress Diana Daniels follows the advice of the doctor who does not requite her love; she voluntarily takes the role of a paralyzed person. The second leading actress, Micha Morgan, is looking for her idol Buster and is forced into a straitjacket by the same doctor.
A central element of this film, the wheelchair, today leads a life of its own as an object. Motorized, but with no occupant, it constantly moves within one of the two circles marked on the floor. Apparently completely operational, the wheelchair is equipped with steering, blinkers, and a rear-view mirror. A movable grip arm attached to the left armrest holds a water glass and carries out a pouring movement with it. A straitjacket hangs on a wall, rising and falling at irregular intervals. The wheelchair and the straitjacket are motifs from 'Buster's Bedroom'. Expansion of freedom of movement through the wheelchair and imprisonment in the straitjacket enter a dialectical relationship. In the room installation, the wheelchair and straitjacket lead a life of their own, expressing the absence of the human being and simultaneously his elemental vulnerability.
