“Untitled (from the series Still Water (The River Thames, for Example)),” created by Roni Horn in 1999, is a conceptual artwork in the genre of photography.
The artwork presents a close-up view of the River Thames, capturing the intricate details and varying textures of the river’s surface. The image showcases a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, with the rippling water reflecting a spectrum of colors. Below the main photographic section, the artwork is interspersed with textual elements, providing a deeper conceptual context to the visual depiction. The reflective and somewhat chaotic nature of the water evokes a sense of both tranquility and constant motion, embodying the essence of the river. The inscriptions at the bottom may guide the viewer’s interpretation, linking the visual experience to broader conceptual themes typical of the conceptual art movement.
