Abstract: The work of Thomas Hirschhorn are giant, labour-intensive, room-sized collages of low grade materials. Part-text, part-sculpture, part junkheap, these baroque installations reflect an extraordinarily prolific imagination and their sheer volume and the time it takes to read and see them make them unforgettable.
