  Horn’s Lover’s Bed evokes eros – even if all we see is an empty metal bed with beautiful butterflies mounted on it. Moving their wings, they symbolize an elderly woman’s long-dead lovers. In a video also on view in the exhibition, we see her lying in her bed. Now the woman is no longer there, only the presence of eros as a timeless dream...
