Walking up to one of Roni Horn’s glass pools can feel unsettling. Large, round, and opaque, the identical masses sit still in exhibition spaces. Their reflective surfaces appear wet but are in fact solid, unmoving, and reflective. In Roni’s first major solo exhibition in Scandinavia, her photographs and drawings surround the pools. Themes of reflectivity are found in those, too. Roni often works in series, playing with pairing and mirroring. Born in 1955, the American artist grew up feeling isolated and unhappy in the New York suburbs. “I remember feeling that I would have to be selfish to do what I wanted to do,” she told T Magazine in 2021. Preoccupied with notions of time and identity, she has always explored issues of gender, androgyny, and the relationship between subject and object. —Jeanne Malle
