- Roni Horn aka Roni Horn
- For more than thirty years, Roni Horn has developed a body of work of concentrated visual power and intellectual rigor. Innovative in diverse mediums, her practice defies easy categorization. Although almost classical in their restraint and beauty, and virtuosic in their use and sensitivity to material, Horn’s pieces incite mental and conceptual engagement. Her subtle explorations of the complex relationship between object and subject have expanded the vocabulary of every medium in which she works. Creating situations in which the mechanisms of perception reveal themselves is one of her great achievements. This catalogue has been produced to accompany the most comprehensive overview of Horn’s work to date.

“If language exists it is because below the levels of identities and differences, there is a foundation provided by resemblances, repetitions, and natural criss-crossings. Resemblance, excluded from knowledge since the seventeenth century, still constitutes the outer edge of language: the ring surrounding the domain of that which can be analyzed, reduced to order and known. Discourse dissipates this murmur [of resemblance] but without it we could not speak.”
Michel Foucault, The Order of Things

- Wonderwater (Alice Offshore)
- In a collaboration with four pre-eminent artists and writers, Roni Horn presents her latest work. The publication takes the form of four individual books contained in a slipcase, plus an envelope containing booklets with drawings by Anne Carson. Each volume comprises a text written in response to the same selection of Horn’s titles/phrases submitted to each collaborator: the sculptor Louise Bourgeois, the poet/writer Anne Carson, the philosopher/writer Hélène Cixous and the film director/artist John Waters. Individually they embody the voice of each writer, together they become the content of Wonderwater (Alice Offshore) — extending further the landscape of Roni Horn’s art.

- Her, Her, Her & Her
- In this collection of 120 black-and-white photos, Roni Horn takes us on a journey through a locker room in Reykjavik, Iceland. With minimal movement between the camera and subject in succeeding frames, and through the use of a slow-shutter technique, this finely crafted body of work provokes the viewer to contemplate the subtleties of each image. A blur behind a portal suggests that someone else is in the locker room with the viewer. Room numbers, open and closed doors, and intersecting hallways give clues to the surroundings, and as we turn each page of the book, we sense the subtle shifting of time and space in photographs that reflect a sculptor’s attention to the details of surfaces, repetition, and form.

- Weather Reports You
- “Everyone has a story about the weather. This may be the single thing each of us holds in common. And though the weather varies greatly from here to there, it is, ultimately, one weather that we share. Small talk everywhere has occasioned the popular distribution of the weather. Some say talking about the weather is talking about oneself. And with each passing day, the weather increasingly becomes ours, if not us. Weather Reports You is one beginning of a collective self-portrait.” Roni Horn

- For over a decade Juergen Teller has worked with Marc Jacobs on the advertising campaigns for each of the Men’s and Woman’s Marc Jacobs collections, Marc by Marc Accessories and perfumes lines.
