Beings, 2014 – now, anthropomorphic sculptures
The British artist Roger Hiorns often works with surprising materials such as antidepressants, a pulverized airplane, crystallized copper sulphate and (parts of) the human body. Since his work plays with human fears and uncertainties it possesses a certain amount of uneasiness. In the Beings installation Hiorns is looking for a future image of man in which technological and biological components increasingly merge together. The Beings are anthropomorphic forms that are assembled casually with found materials. We recognize ourselves in their imperfection and griminess.
