Berlin Exercises: Dreaming under Water 1974–5 is a colour film, shown as a video, consisting of a series of performance works enacted by one or two people for the camera. The film is divided into segments, introduced by the title of each individual performance in English (the text below uses different English translations, corresponding to those given in the artist’s filmography: http://www.rebecca-horn.de/pages/filmography.html, accessed 10 June 2016). The performances focus on interventions on the human body, sometimes featuring garment-like sculptures worn by the performers, and are set in a single interior: a room with two windows, unfurnished except for a mirror and occasional props.
