Artist
Sculpture
Thomas Hirschhorn is a Swiss sculptor who constructs large-scale installations from cardboard, tape, wire, and other humble materials, often assembled with deliberate rawness and formal instability. His works frequently engage with philosophy, politics, and social fragmentation through accumulation and architectural interventions. Rather than refinement or durability, Hirschhorn prioritizes urgency and public accessibility, treating materials as vehicles for conceptual rigor rather than aesthetic polish.
