Work
Horn is one of a generation of German artists who came to international prominence in the 1980s.[3] She practices body art, but works in different media, including performance, installation art, sculpture, and film.[4] She also writes poetry. Sometimes her poetry is influenced by her work, and on many occasions her poetry has inspired her work. When Horn returned to the Hamburg academy she continued to make cocoon-like things. She worked with padded body extensions and prosthetic bandages. In the late sixties she began creating performance art and continued to use bodily extensions.
