“I have always felt androgyny as central to my relationship with both myself and the work. As far as an individual’s experience with a given work goes, I throw the issue of self-identity back out to the viewer.” — Roni Horn

Roni Horn’s work is characterized by a sparse visual language that is often imbued with traces of her personal experiences and interpretation of her environment. Since the late 1970s, Horn has used a variety of mediums — including drawing, photography, sculpture and installation — to investigate the limits and contours of identity and perception. Horn’s experiences with the landscapes and people of Iceland, which she has visited regularly since 1975, have become one of the most enduring sources of inspiration in her practice. A playful relationship to doubling is a common touchpoint in Horn's work as well. The artist often presents her installations and photographs side-by-side or in pairs, heightening the similarities and differences between the works. Often replete with textual references — from Emily Dickinson to Flanery O’Connor and Anne Carson — Horn’s work offers a semiotic investigation into the relationship between language and material.
