The Story

ā€˜Seizure of Hope’ is the eighth in Roni Horn's celebrated series of conceptual artist's books, and the fourth published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers following ā€˜bird’ (2008), ā€˜aka’ (2010), and ā€˜Wits' End’ (2021). Taking as her starting point comedian Maria Bamford's phrase "I am paralysed by hope", Horn obsessively drew and redrew this text, creating a profound meditation on language, emotion, and perception. This innovative volume features multiple gatefolds that unfold to reveal three- and four-panel drawings, transforming the book into an immersive experience. Through repetition and method, Horn reveals how meaning shifts and multiplies, creating a powerful visual investigation of hope's paradoxical capacity to both sustain and paralyze us.
