Roni Horn: Her, Her, Her And Her

by Roni Horn (Artist)

In this collection of 120 black-and-white photographs, Roni Horn takes us on a journey through a locker room in Reykjavik, Iceland. With minimal movement between the camera and subject in succeeding frames, and through the use of a slow-shutter technique, this finely crafted body of work provokes the viewer to contemplate the subtleties of each image. A blur behind a portal suggests that someone else is in the locker room with the viewer. Room numbers, open and closed doors, and intersecting hallways give clues to the surroundings, and as we turn each page of the book, we sense the subtle shifting of time and space in photographs that reflect a sculptor's attention to the details of surfaces, repetition and form.

Images from the changing rooms of what I think is Sundholl Reykjavikur - the oldest swimming pools/bathing hall in Reykjavik...a look in serial images of a very interesting interior space.
