Cockfeather Mask 1973

Rebecca Horn's "Cockfeather Mask" from 1973 is a striking example of performance art and sculpture. Composed of a black cock's feathers, the mask is suspended from a white wall by straps and appears to be a distorted head, evoking an unsettling sense of the uncanny. This piece is characteristic of Horn's exploration of the body and its relationship to the object, often with a focus on the performative act of wearing the artwork.
