Key and Cue, no. 1182 REMEMBRANCE HAS A REAR AND FRONT
1994
A polished aluminum rod stands upright, its cool, industrial surface contrasting with a cast plastic tip that bears the enigmatic phrase "REMEMBRANCE HAS A REAR AND FRONT." Horn's work toys with language and object simultaneously, transforming a simple, utilitarian form into a vessel for philosophical reflection. The piece invites viewers to consider memory's dual nature — its capacity to look both backward and forward in time.
