Available again, Roni Horn’s collective self-portrait via accounts of the weather
“Everyone has a story about the weather. This may be the single thing each of us holds in common.

Some say talking about the weather is talking about oneself. And with each passing day, the weather increasingly becomes ours, if not us.

is one beginning of a collective self-portrait,” writes Roni Horn, “a metaphor for the physical, metaphysical, political, social and moral energy of a person and a place”.
This book is a new edition of the original
of 2007, a gathering of oral reports on the weather made on location in Iceland, accompanied by snapshots taken at the time and place of each interview.
