Time Out says

Reflections on power, authority, artifice and illusion are given literal expression in the gallery debut of this Turner Prize winner who works across multiple mediums, including painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, video, performance and photography. The show’s the main attractions are two mirrored sculptures that weigh in on methods of control, both external and internal. The first is based on Scotland Yard’s iconic sign, featuring a three-sided form rotating atop a column, which Wallinger renders as an abstract police state totem. The second is a mirror configured specifically for the ceiling of Sigmund Freud’s London study, re-installed here with its original contours, only set in a larger space that makes it appear to be floating above the viewer, like a dream awaiting psychoanalyitical deconstruction.
