Arm Extensions 1968

"Arm Extensions" (1968) by Rebecca Horn is a striking performance piece that embodies the artist's signature exploration of the body and its limitations. The image captures the artist wearing an extended, restrictive garment that restricts her movement, creating an unsettling tension between freedom and confinement. The red fabric evokes both vulnerability and power, reflecting Horn's enduring interest in exploring themes of identity, sexuality, and the human condition. The piece is a testament to Horn's early engagement with performance art and her commitment to challenging conventional notions of the body and its representation.
