In 1996 Steidl published Roni Horn’s Haraldsdóttir, the tenth book in her “To Place” series about the connections between identity and location. Haraldsdóttir contained portraits of the same Icelandic woman in water; each pose was similar to emphasise the infinite number of potential facial expressions. Haraldsdóttir Part Two contains one hundred photographs of the same woman taken a number of years later. The relationship between the two books introduces the passing of time into this intricate portrait, the latest of Horn’s investigations into the people and landscape of Iceland.
Roni Horn was born in New York where she continues to live and work. Recent solo exhibitions of her work include the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Musèe d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Fundacao Serralves, Porto; Fotomuseum Winterthur and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Her recent publications, Dictionary of Water, This is Me, This is You, Cabinet of, If on a Winter’s Night, Her, Her, Her, & Her, Wonderwater (Alice Offshore), Index Cixous, 2003 – 05 have all been published by Steidl.
