-
“In SEIZURE, Hiorns’ most ambitious work to date, the artist precipitated an unexpected sculptural form within the fabric of a housing estate near London Bridge.” – Artangel
-
“For his first work within an urban site, Hiorns made a radical shift of scale and context, and developed an extraordinary chemical intervention in the heart of the city.” – Artangel
-
“British artist Roger Hiorns makes exceptional use of unlikely materials: detergent, disinfectant, perfume, fire and copper sulphate crystals. Transforming steel poles, car engines and cardboard architectural models into crystalline forms, Hiorns effects surprising, physical and aesthetic transformations on found objects.” – Artangel

“The walls and ceilings are covered in blue copper sulphate crystals, their rhomboid facets glinting in the gloom. Silvery shards of cold light spangle and wink and beckon. Every surface is furred and infested; big blue crystals dangle like cubist bats from the light fittings. Little wonder the flat has been abandoned: you’d move out, too, if the crystals moved in.” -Artist Roger Hiorns has found a novel use for a condemned flat
-
“These crystalline accretions are both fascinating and repellent; all this inorganic growth is alien and alienating, an invasion indifferent to life but also somehow like it.” -Adrian Searle on Roger Hiorns Seizure

“Seizure”, by Roger Hiorns, is one of those ideas elemental in their simplicity. It existed from 3rd September to 30th November 2008, at 157 Harper Road, London SE1. Hiorns took a derelict flat, in a block about to be destroyed, and made it into a waterproof tank into which he poured 90000 litres of hot copper sulphate solution, and left it for two weeks. The remainder of the solution was pumped out and recycled by whatever industry uses copper sulphate for practical purposes. Every hard surface in the flat was covered with gleaming blue crystals. I visited it on 28th November, by which time the crystals on the floor had long since been trampled down to a rough uneven surface full of hills and puddles. But those on the walls and ceiling were still intact.
