Zenith of the Ocean II, 2007

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. Show Less
