| Summary: | British artist Roger Hiorns uses materials and convolutions to affect transformations on found objects, social encounters and urban situations. In his work, fictional scenarios become reality, crystals colonise industrial objects, and naked youths contemplate fire. The duality of physical and spiritual is often a significant aspect within the works - something which was apparent in the exhibition at De Hallen Haarlem, for which this compact but richly informative catalogue was published. Filled with numerous examples of the artist's work, as well as his short textual explanations and inspirations, the book also includes critical texts by Xander Karskens and Tom Morton. Exhibition: De Hallen, Haarlem, the Netherlands (1.12.2012-24.2.2013).
