In Roger Hiorns statement about his solo exhibition at Ikon in Birmingham, he describes his work as taking materials and objects and "cut(ting) them off from what their established use is, to directly interfere with their world-ness." In this way, Hiorns is engaging in the idea of disidentification. By taking materials and objects found in everyday life, such as machinery or actual people, and recontextualizing them, Hiorns "focuses on various aspects of modern life, closely analysing what is assumed or taken for granted."
