Synopsis

Last season we published Horn's Dictionary of Water, a universal lexicon, now we offer This is Me, This is You, Horn's handbook of identity. Here in this uniquely bound twinned volume we have a book with no end. Peruse the 48 images taken with a 'point and shoot' camera, and as you arrive at the last image, you turn the book over and begin again: now with a paired complement for each of the 48 images, taken only a few seconds later. This work, a single and singular portrait photographed over a two year period evokes a multitude - of identities, of images, of icons from Bette Davis to Marlon Brando. Ultimately it is the multitude in each of us. Along with other recent installations, This is Me, This is You was premiered last fall at DIA's Center for the Arts in New York City.
