La Lune Rebelle – Ein Abend für Rebecca Horn | Gespräch, Filmscreening, Vitrinen-Präsentation

In the organizer's words:

Renowned voices address the international relevance of Rebecca Horn's transmedia work. In her work, the recently deceased artist - one of the most important of the post-war generation - blurs the boundaries between performance, film, sculpture, large-scale installation, drawing, text and photography as well as between man, machine and nature: "I like it when my machines get tired, rest, think, wait." A piano hanging upside down from the ceiling, its keys erupting noisily and abruptly, or a unicorn moving through a field of grain are just as much a part of her poetic cosmos as peacock machines, funnels, bedsteads or knives.

Her idea, developed back in 1986 with Heiner Müller and Iannis Kounellis, of reflecting the Berlin border situation with works of art in East and West, led to the large-scale project "The Finitude of Freedom" in the public space of both halves of the city after the Wall came down.

Early film experiments and, for the first time, working material by Nana von Hugo on Buster's Bedroom (1990) will be shown at the event.
