Found plastic and metal office clocks from the old Royal London Hospital and Copper sulphate
Theatre Corridor, 4th Floor, Royal London Hospital

Hiorns has taken discarded office clocks from The Old Royal London Hospital and subjected them to the crystalisation process which he applied to a previous project, Seizure, where he encrusted an entire derelict flat. In a gentle momento mori to the hospital’s past, some of the clocks still display the time at which they were stopped.

Roger Hiorns was born in Birmingham in 1975 and studied at Goldsmiths College. In 2009 he was nominated for the Turner Prize with his installation Seizure, commissioned by Artangel.
