The German artist Rebecca Horn – known for her surrealistic and sensual "art machines" – has passed away, 80 years old, reports The Guardian. Several of her works are represented at the Modern Museum in Stockholm.

Horn's early artworks bore traces of the Fluxus movement and later, masks and headpieces became recurring themes, including the so-called "pen mask" with sprouting sharp pencils. She also frequently used musical instruments and helped Peter Gabriel visualize his song "Secret world" in 1992.

One of Rebecca Horn's most famous works is "Turtle sighing tree", a tree made of copper pipes that emits piercing screams and laments in different languages.

Besides working with installations and sculptures, Horn also wrote texts and scripts and directed films and opera works. In 1990, the comedy "Buster's bedroom" premiered with Donald Sutherland and Geraldine Chaplin in the lead roles.
