ARCHIT - CITY - LANDSCAPE
Intimate, heartbreaking, and yet ultimately hopeful existential journeys towards the Nirvana.
Never an outline of adolescent restlessness, of anxiety in finding oneself, of individual pride in the face of History and Nature has been as magnificently described as in these two short movies, if we except Herman Hesse’s classic novel Siddharta.

Over the course of the fair, 40000 worker bees were released into the cabinet.

Thomas Hirschhorn: the Subjecter
“I was always interested by surface, by the contact with surface. the impact is always on the surface. the impact has to touch the surface. (…) the mannequins – when I made them – wanted to be the poor contemporary, armoral, non-religious version of somebody or something who endures in place of another, a kind of fetish, which is in african culture an object charged with a supernatural power, either favourable or evil. (…) other references are also possible – in fact – I always try to be precise and at the same to create an opening in my work.” – Thomas Hirschhorn, Swiss artist
