GREEN BEAM - LOVE DIALOGuE BETWEEN YIN AND YANG

Born in 1944 in Germany, Rebecca Horn studies at the
Hochschule fur bildende Kunste of Hamburg from 1964 to
1970. In 1968, she starts participating to manifestations of
body art. Then she combines minimalism and kinetic art to
build a conceptual and self referenced works.
since 1970, she builds animated machines and determines
her vocabulary as “signs and secret language”. Her works
mixes literary allusions and alchemistic references, sexual,
metaphysical or cinematographic.
Machines imitate Life while remaining sculpture. They participate
to an esthetic world which concentrates touching to sublimate
them in energies:

“The magic wand becomes ray of light
by enchantment joins the up and the down
with pulsations ofenergy”
R.Horn in “Tailleur du Coeur” (Cutter of Heart)

for the space of Piece unique, Rebecca Horn has conceived
a machine-sculpture where the two energies yin and yang
create, in their meeting point, a lightning: the Green Beam.
