THOMAS HIRSCHHORN
Born 1957 in Bern, Switzerland.
Lives and works in Paris, France.

Thomas Hirschhorn describes his sculptural environments as 'collages in the third dimension' and explains that this means 'putting things together that are not meant to be put together'. Created from the most basic everyday materials, his monumental works are concerned with issues of justice and injustice, power and powerlessness, and moral responsibility.


 

"To me, the cave is in your brain, the cave is in your mind... You have to build this cave in your mind and to struggle with what happens in this cave, in confronting it with the world."
