Zenith of the Ocean II, 2007. Chromogenic print with hand-painting. Signed in marker, dated and numbered. 27 1/2 x 35 1/2 in. (70 x 90.2 cm), unframed. Edition of 25 // Zenith of the Ocean II by Rebecca Horn, created in 2007, is a striking C-print photograph enhanced with hand-painted elements. This chromogenic print captures a surreal underwater scene where blurred, abstracted forms intermingle with swathes of deep blues and vibrant reds. The overlay of hand-painted strokes and splatters introduces an energetic, almost chaotic dynamism to the piece, evoking the fluid, unpredictable nature of the ocean itself. This unique combination of photography and painting blurs the line between reality and abstraction, as Horn explores themes of immersion, transformation, and the mysteries of underwater worlds. The interplay of colors and textures invites viewers into a meditative state, contemplating the depths of the ocean and the subconscious.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
