On Friday, May , , at pm, a solo exhibition by Rebecca Horn entitled Bodylandscape will open at Studio Trisorio, located at Riviera di Chiaia .
The exhibition will feature works on paper including some Bodylandscape, the large-scale drawings characteristic of Horn’s work, whose dimensions correspond exactly to the full extension of her own body.
The Bodylandscape is created as performative acts capable of establishing a relationship between the artist’s inner external worlds, through the impulsive and immediate force of the gesture, which evokes images of both cosmic and inner landscapes on the surface. These works, intended not only as traces of physical movement but also as expressions of emotional and passionate energy, characterize Horn’s entire artistic journey. Though expressed in a di erent form, they maintain continuity with her body-centered performances of the s.
As in all of Horn's creations, one senses her poetics inspired by the energies of the universe in her works on paper. Each piece seems to emit a mysterious force that evokes dreamlike scenarios, triggering a connection between the viewer and the artist’s most intimate world.
The exhibition commemorates the artist, who passed away on September , and coincides with the retrospective at the Castello di Rivoli in Turin from May to September , —the rst solo exhibition dedicated to Horn in a public museum in Italy.
