Mark Wallinger at Hauser and Wirth

Written By Richy Lamb

Titled 'ID', Mark Wallinger's new exhibition uses Sigmund Freud's theories of the Id, Ego and Superego as the inspiration for art made in different media. Large paintings resemble 'inkblot' psychological tests. A rotating mirrored object mimics New Scotland Yard's iconic police sign. And what appears to be a still photograph is revealed to be a moving digital image on a two second loop. Wallinger is a winner of Britain's leading award for artists, The Turner Prize.
