Thomas Hirschhorn made his name during the nineties with large-scale, three-dimensional collages made from cheap disposable material like cardboard, tape, plastic and aluminium foil. He combines these and other packing materials with texts, pictures from newspapers and magazines, and home-made objects like aeroplanes, watches, gold bars and streamers. Much interest has been shown in his works for public spaces, in which Hirschhorn criticises a society dominated by money and power. Hirschhorn’s work can be described as an extremely individual search for positive engagement with everyday social and political reality. The artist regards his installations primarily as a means of communication.
