Anaïs Horn developed the project "Dreamers" during her residency at Castro Projects in Rome in 2024. Drawing inspiration from Marianne Wex's exploration of male and female body language within patriarchal structures (as presented in Wex's 1979 work Let’s Take Back Our Space: Female and Male Body Language as a Result of Patriarchal Structures) and Glenys Davies' research on gender and body language in Roman art (2018), Horn photographed statues of male emperors in Rome using analog filters. She then employed artificial intelligence to transform the images of these emperors into women.
She printed this series of images as postcards, that she performatively sold to tourists in Rome and integrated into the regular offerings of tourist shops and newsstands. By distributing the postcards in an accessible manner, Horn aimed to enact a subversive act—creating an alternative reality that rewrites history and provokes change for the future.
To mark the occasion of the Vienna Contemporary 2024, she printed some of the motifs as a limited edition on hand-treated marble slabs, humorously playing with history, as well as with ideas around difference and repetition, originality, replication and transformation. This project reflects Horn’s approach to integrating AI into her artistic practice, which frequently centers around historic female figures and the telling of (her)story / ies.
Dreamers postcards are available at Castro Projects, Roma, Macro Museum, Roma, Almost Corner Bookshop, Roma, Forma Arts, London, Printed Matter, NYC and online at printedmatter.org
