The American artist Roni Horn explores the complexity of identity. This volume focuses on a series of photographic portraits presented in public spaces as part of a project conceived for the Schirn.
Roni Horn (*1955), whose work was featured in major retrospectives in 2009 at venues including the Tate Modern in London and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, explores the theme of shifting identity. In doing so, she employs a variety of media, such as photography, sculpture, installation, drawing, and text. The artist plays with similarities and differences—particularly in photographic portraits—and in doing so explores the ambiguity of human facial expressions across a range of emotions. The face becomes a projection surface for an inner dialogue for the viewer.
