Roni Horn was born in 1955 in New York. She has studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (BA) and Yale University (MFA). Since the mid-1970s Roni Horn has produced sculpture, photography, drawings, and books, stretching the definition of each genre. Her works are grounded in a practice of incisive philosophical inquiry and material study that explores nature, identity, and duality. Horn’s broad oeuvre consistently challenges identity politics by dissecting and juxtaposing images and texts with objects, creating deeply resonant dialogues between the different mediums. By focusing on highly mutable subjects, Horn has consistently explored human perception and the visual experience of our changing natural environments. By capturing the continuous flux inherent in water, light, and weather, for example, the artist is able to crystallize her broader interests in the relationships between places and things. By grouping portraiture with objects and drawing, Horn reveals the complex relationship between the viewer, her work, and the dichotomy between the moment of visual perception and the lingering effects of one’s memory.
