The Cloud Collection in Nanjing presents the commemorative exhibition Shadow of a Butterfly—in Memory of Rebecca Horn honoring the artist, whose passing on September 6, 2024, marks the end of an extraordinary artistic era. Known for her transformative "body sculptures" and kinetic works, Horn's art resonates with themes of mortality and transcendence, deeply influenced by Taoist philosophy. Highlighted pieces include Der Traum des Chinesen, inspired by Zhuang Zhou’s butterfly allegory, and video recordings of her iconic performances and films. The exhibition also features a poetry reading, celebrating her writings that blend literature and visual art in a lasting tribute to her legacy.
