Roni Horn

Still Water (The River Thames, for Example) - Image L

1999

A close-up view of the Thames River's surface dominates this lithograph, capturing the water in a state of hypnotic stillness punctuated by subtle ripples and reflections. Horn pairs the image with numbered footnotes printed directly on the work, blurring the boundary between image and text, observation and meaning. The piece invites viewers to contemplate the deceptive calm of the river's surface, which conceals both its physical depths and a charged history of human lives lost within it.
