Untitled (Weather) is a photographic series connected to Roni Horn’s seminal work You are the Weather. In these portraits of a young woman, the viewer encounters the same face again and again, immersed in the water of an Icelandic hot spring.

Since 1975, the artist has travelled regularly to the Nordic volcanic island, whose unique landscape remains a major source of inspiration for her. You are the Weather reveals not only how changeable we are as human beings, but also how the volatility of the weather is mirrored in a hundred subtly shifting facial expressions.
