Roni HornWeather Reports You

Roni Horn’s collective self-portrait through stories about the weather is available again.

“Everyone has a story about the weather. It is perhaps the only thing we have in common. And even though the weather varies a lot from place to place, it is, in the end, a time we share. The weather has become a popular topic of conversation around the world. Some say that talking about the weather is talking about yourself. And with each passing day, the weather is becoming more and more ours, even part of us. Weather Reports You is the 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 first Weather Reports You from 2007, a collection of oral reports on the weather, made on location in Iceland, accompanied by photographs taken at the time and place of each interview.
