Haraldsdóttir, Part Two

von

Roni Horn’s “To Place” series is about the connections between identity and location. Haraldsdóttir, Part Two, is the
tenth volume in this series. It is related to Haraldsdóttir, which was published in 1996.
Using water as context, photographs of a woman create an intimate but ambiguous portrait where the face becomes
the place. Haraldsdóttir, Part Two contains one hundred photographs of the same subject taken fifteen years later.
Roni Horn was born in New York in 1955 where she continues to live and work. Horn’s solo exhibition includes those
at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Museum Winterthur and Tate Modern in London. Books are an
important medium for Horn, both as a means of distributing her art and as exhibited objects. Her publications with Steidl
include Becoming a Landscape (2001), This is Me, This is You (2001) and Roni Horn aka Roni Horn (2009).
