19th Dec 2012, De Haalen museum, Haarlem

I just visited with a friend De Haalen museum in Haarlem.These shoos covered with copper sulphate crystals are part of the work Seizureof Roger Hiorns.Which is a bigger installation: walls and objects, all covered with this shining reflecting crystals. To me it looks like the frozen palace of Sleeping Beauty, when she was waiting to be kissed by a prince. Only in this case nothing will “save” the shoes from the frozen moment. I was wandering if Hiorns found the miracle material that turns objects timelessly and preserves moments infinitely.
