Roni Horn (B. 1955)

‘I discovered quite early on that…a single object would not give me the kind of relationship I was interested in having with the viewer. Because its singularity leads more toward a separation from the viewer. So I arrived at the idea of the paired object, which diffused that possibility. The idea was to create a space in which the viewer would inhabit the work, or at least be a part of it’
