Thomas Hirschhorn’s works address the chal­lenges of our time. They deal with cli­mate emer­gency and jus­tice, con­sumer excess and alien­ation. Many of the geopo­lit­i­cal dis­cus­sions raised by the artist, which we can usu­al­ly hold at a dis­tance, col­lapse over and upon us. We break in. We become part of the Hirschhorn­ian cos­mos, which so clear­ly says how impor­tant it is to take a stance. At first glance, the exhib­it­ed col­lage seems strange­ly sober, almost alien­at­ed. Val­ues and atti­tudes, not solu­tions, are at its core. We seek sim­ple answers to the mul­ti­tude of ques­tions in vain. Rather, the project is about estab­lish­ing social rela­tion­ships, act­ing togeth­er, the inven­tion of prac­tices that pro­duce or change spaces.
