Materials: DVD

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK7508_M351_4).

The human body is central to Rebecca Horn's performances of the seventies. With her choreographic rituals, as an artist she centres her focus on the mythical identification of  humankind with nature. Nature, culture, mythology and technology all coalesce in these performances. A vital and significant relationship between the spectator and her work is brought about by the movement of these performances: they evoke astonishment or it is precisely this sense of wonder that the spectator awaits in anticipation, followed by an expectation that this sense of wonder will be repeated.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
