Spirit di Madreperal, Naples, 2002

Rebecca Horn explores the idea of transforming or changing the meaning of objects and space.  Her interest and desire is to "break down the boundaries of space & time."  Each of her works builds on this continued exploration of boundaries.   Spiriti di Madreperal transforms

the Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples.  Large mother of pearl rings shimmer with light.  Beneath each ring a cast iron skull sits between cobbled stones on the ground.  Viewers walk between the rings and the skulls and experiencing the beauty of the open space and their place in the vertical lines of the energy.  The implied vertical lines contrast with the organic circular skulls and rings.
