In Search of America • Seen via Seizure by Roger Hiorns “Hiorns...

Kennifer, 26, B.A. in Anthropology with an emphasis in archaeology.

I'm an academic junkie. Some of the stuff I like are antique maps, Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan, graphic novel and comic book culture, and reading American historical nonfiction (especially about Lewis & Clark, the Civil War and early western pioneering life). Someday I'd like to have a motorcycle built from the ground up.

I'm an INTJ. Starcraft, beer, and whiskey take up a significant amount of my "free time" other than reading and dicking around on the internet. And cooking, I guess. I'm a big fan of Ina Garten.

Seizure by Roger Hiorns

“Hiorns covered the walls of an abandoned apartment with plastic and chicken wire pumped eighty-seven thousand liters of copper sulfate into the space and left. Months later, the remaining liquid was pumped back out of the flat, leaving shimmering surfaces of brilliant blue crystals throughout the installation. Much was written about the installation back in 2008 when you could still visit the abandoned flat-turned-geode. “

This is just so incredibly rad and creative. I really wish I had the opportunity to experience this in person.
