Rebecca Horn
Rebecca Horn (24 March 1944, Michelstadt, Hesse) is a German visual artist, who is best known for her installation art, film directing, and her body modifications such as ''Einhorn'' (Unicorn), a body-suit with a very large horn projecting vertically from the headpiece. She directed the films; ''Der Eintänzer'' (1978), ''La ferdinanda: Sonate für eine Medici-Villa'' (1982) and ''Buster's Bedroom'' (1990).〔Brenson, Michael. ''Buster Keaton Inspires a Spooky German Film''. The New York Times. 4 November 1990〕 Horn presently lives and works in Paris and Berlin.〔
==Early life and education==
Rebecca Horn was born on March 24, 1944 in Michelstadt, Germany.〔("Rebecca Horn: Biography" ), Ro Gallery, Retrieved 13 November 2014.〕 She was taught to draw by her Romanian governess and became obsessed with drawing with expression because it was not as confining or labeling as oral language. Living in Germany after the end of World War II greatly affected the liking she took to drawing. "We could not speak German. Germans were hated. We had to learn French and English. We were always traveling somewhere else, speaking something else. But I had a Romanian governess who taught me how to draw. I did not have to draw in German or French or English. I could just draw."
Horn spent most of her late childhood in boarding schools and at nineteen rebelled against her parents' plan of studying economics and decided to instead study art. In 1963 she attended the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts).〔("Rebecca Horn Biography" ), Rebecca Horn, Retrieved 13 November 2014.〕 A year later she had to pull out of art school because she had contracted severe lung poisoning. 'In 1964 I was 20 years old and living in Barcelona, in one of those hotels where you rent rooms by the hour. I was working with glass fibre, without a mask, because nobody said it was dangerous, and I got very sick. For a year I was in a sanatorium. My parents died. I was totally isolated.” After experiencing this “total isolation” until she felt that her life was over before it had begun, she walked out of the hospital. She was still too ill, however, to resume life as a student or work with fiberglass and polyester. She had to take masses of antibiotics and sleep long hours to have enough energy to operate normally. She could, however, work with softer materials, and when in bed she drew with colored pencils (which are still her favorite drawing tools). She also began to slowly break out of her self-imposed isolation and began to create sculpture and strange extensions with balsa wood and cloth. “I began to produce my first body-sculptures. I could sew lying in bed." Her goal then was to quash her “loneliness by communicating through bodily forms.”
Horn lived in Hamburg until 1971, in London for a brief time (1971–2), and since 1973 in Berlin.
