Rebecca Horn is regarded as one of the most versatile and creative artists that Germany has at present. Since 1989, she has been a professor at the Hochschule der Kunste (Academy of Fine Arts) in Berlin. A regular participant in the Kassel art exhibition 'documenta' - her first showing of works took place in 1972 - she has long since gained international recognition and acclaim. The high point of her career up to now is marked by the 1994 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum of New York, which was then shown at the New National Gallery in Berlin and the Kunsthalle, or art gallery, of Vienna.

Rebecca Horn has been working with various media simultaneously for some time, not only since 'crossover' has become a fad in the art scene of today: drawing, sculpture, installation, kinetics, photography, performance, action, video, film and text. As early as immediately after her studies in Hamburg, she began with performances which took as their theme her own body and its sensorium. For this, she constructed apparatus and stands, frames or mounts that enable this experience of body. Characteristic of this early work - as well as all later works, in fact - is the close connection which the human being, in movement, enters into with the sculpture or the object Film and video, serving at first only to document the performance, are developed by the artist into independent carriers of communication, which Integrate action and object in a new unit of (art)work. Thus come into being a number of film projects having the usual length of cinema or television films.

The interlacing of sculpture and film constitutes a main factor in the work of Rebecca Horn. The installations, objects and films, tell a story which knows no linear line. It is based on emotionally charged text sequences that are spoken in the film while, at the same time, they accompany the objects of the exhibition as a poetic text. Her invented objects play a double role in the film in that they reflect and interpret the story described in the film scenes. And they themselves open up ever new artistic reflections.

Recordings of her performances can be seen at mezzanine floor of Borusan Art Gallery and at Borusan Culture& rit Center's Activity hall her 35mm. films " La Ferdinanda", "Buster's Bedroom", "Cutting Through thePast" will be shown during the exhibition.
