Venice 2011: Thomas Hirschhorn, Swiss Pavilion



Photos of the Swiss Pavilion

Entering the Swiss pavilion in Giardini is surrendering to the world of Thomas Hirschhorn. With "Crystal Of Resistance" the artist has created a world apart, filled with amazing installations and funny details - you'll either love it or you'll hate it (most likely the first!).
Judging from a recent quote from Hirschhorn this was also the goal:
"I have never produced an artwork especially for a context. I am not interested in contexts, since I believe in the autonomy of Art. Art is autonomous and such autonomy is what gives it beauty and makes it absolute".
