Hatoum’s works fill the mind and all the senses but they do not shout. My companion and I found the huge exhibition was not exhausting, and though we had clearly had very different experiences in there, our discussion—over a meal in a Polish restaurant this time—was quiet and calm. Just as she often uses skin and surfaces as ideas and as materials, Hatoum’s work gets thoroughly inside one’s awareness.
