Synopsis
What do you see when you look at water? Here are ninety-five answers, ninety-five directions, ninety-five possibilities. Here is water in it's endlessly new nature. Here in a dictionary because water is the ultimate lexicon. Only recently Scalo of Zurich published Horn's Another Water (The River Thames, for Example). A separate work, Still Water is presently being shown at Castello di Rivoli, Torino and soon to be viewed at the Whitney Museum of Art, New York. Another installation titled Some Thames has been shown at the Whitney Museum, New York. With the assistance of Nic Tenwiggenhorn, Horn draws from the River Thames instances of water towards a language without words.

Listen to the river
22. Februar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you decide to purchase Dictionary of Water be aware that the title wants to be the author's personal interpretation of a seamless series of formally perfect images of the water of river Thames, with no trace of text or essay. Rich in details and superbly printed, it makes you think that if nature could speak a language, it's alphabet would look like this book. Dictionary of Water is therefore also a beautiful object, nicely bound and printed on a luxury heavy satin paper. Being a conceptual project, this work might disappoint readers who expect some sort of explanation guiding them inside the motivations and the purposes of the artist, but those who know Roni Horn's style will definitely appreciate it. My advice is to look carefully again and again at pictures after the first quick glance. Water has its forms, but also reflects colours and clearness of what's around, therefore giving the viewer a reference about the weather, the light, indirect clues of life and history flowing around the big moody river. Concentrate on the pictures, and let the book absorb you, without wondering too much about its meaning, just like when listening to music: this is the best way of appreciating Roni Horn's work.
