Rebecca Horn (24 March 1944, Michelstadt, Hesse) is a German installation artist most famous for her body modifications.
The Gentle Prisoner (1978) consisted of two large ‘fans’ of peacock feathers that opened and closed. This work gives either a sense of breather when the fans of peacock feathers opend, or a sense of claustrophobia whenw they closed.
