āSeizure of Hopeā is the eighth in Roni Horn's celebrated series of conceptual artist's books, and the fourth published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers following ābirdā (2008), āakaā (2010), and āWits' Endā (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.
