Rebecca Horn

As a visual artist, Rebecca Horn’s work is aimed at challenging societal norms and subverting long-standing traditions – one of her most famous pieces to date is Einhorn (Unicorn), a body suit comprised of several fabric straps - designed to fit around the naked female body - and finished with a final strap that connects a long, tall cone to be worn atop the head: this piece in particular highlights Horn’s fascination with the human body, and her desire to surpass the societal constraints that are often placed upon it. Horn has also received a lot of recognition for her film directing – her films would often feature her sculptures and bodysuits, further highlighting their significance and meaning – Buster's Bedroom is perhaps the better known of her films, and perfectly highlights her fascination with the human body and its imperfections.
