Roni Horn

Water.
Roni Horn is like water.
ever fluid, constantly adaptable, and ever changing while still maintaining her true self.
i think out of the pieces shown in the documentary, the piece that i could actually connect with was the locker room piece. like the rest of her work, the pieces of the collage flowed and intertwined with each other like water. not only was the flow amazing, but it was strategic and held this ambiguous story within it as well. I think what ultimately attracted me to the piece was the ambiguity, the voyeuristic style that was hiding in the piece. As Roni Horn said the people entering and leaving the lockers were just "traces". and i think thats all we can do is just leave the smallest trace of ourselves in the places we inhabit in our lives.
