Roger Hiorns’ Seizure

Most conceptual art leaves me completely cold. This was so freaky and over the top I found myself liking it. British artist Roger Hiorns pumped 80,000 litres of a copper sulphate solution into a hole in the floor into an apartment below. After a few weeks the temperature of the solution fell and the crystals began to grow. After the remaining liquid was pumped back out, what remained was an other worldly blue crystalline landscape.
