Rebecca Horn at the Film Festival: A Poetic Approach to an Artistic Body of Work
With Rebecca Horn – The Soul of Things, the Munich Film Festival shines a light on a body of work that has significantly influenced 20th and early 21st-century art on July 5, 2026. The documentary by Claudia Müller follows an artist whose kinetic objects, installations, films, performances, and sculptures reconfigured the perception of body, space, and movement. The screening will take place at 4:00 PM in City 2 of the City-Atelier cinemas in Munich; the ticket price is 10.00 euros.

A Portrait Between Art History and the Present
Rebecca Horn is one of the prominent individual voices of the international avant-garde. Her works combine technical precision with poetic density: motors, springs, mirrors, metal, wood, and textile elements are turned into instrumented spatial images where physicality and abstraction penetrate each other. The film approaches this range precisely, showing how Horn has expanded the concept of art through performative and sculptural processes. Haus der Kunst explicitly describes her exhibition as an engagement with the choreographic aspects of her work; the official biography of the Moontower Foundation also highlights her international presence in major museums and biennials.

The Aesthetic Experience in the Cinema
The strength of this cinema visit lies in the examination of the work from the distance of the screen space. There, Horn's objects unfold as moving thought figures: fragile yet rigorously constructed, sensual and conceptual. The documentary contextualizes this work historically and makes visible how Horn operated with themes like bodily boundaries, transformation, perception, and material poetry. This presentation offers a concentrated art experience with high intellectual density, especially for visitors who appreciate art education and art historical context.
