For more than four decades, American artist Roni Horn has built a diverse body of work spanning drawing, sculpture, photography, installation, and books, exploring an array of topics, including human identity, ecology, landscape, weather, and language. Horn’s work intermingles material and context, complicating relationships between object, subject, and viewer in the process. On view in the Passage of the Pavilions is Water Double, v. 3, 2013–2015, a work comprised of two of the largest solid cast glass cylinders the artist has created. One opaque and one translucent, these forms conceptually reflect the dualities Horn often explores in her work, while also incorporating the surrounding environment onto their surfaces.
