Rebecca Horn: Cockatoo mask, 1973.

 

 

 

 

Horn described using this mask in a performance exploring ideas of sexual availability and intimacy:

"My face is covered by two intertwined, closed feather wings. The person standing before me touches the feathers delicately, then separates and opens the wings. The spread wings stretch like long bird wings, and softly enclose around [both] our heads.

The feather-enclosure isolates our heads from the surrounding environment, and forces us to remain intimately alone, together."
