Thomas Hirschhorn is a Swiss artist. Trained in Zurich and inspired by Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol. He has become known for using everyday materials in the creation of complex large sculptures. Here he uses- fiber-glass mannequins, metal nails, metal screws, plastic base timber. It emits a shocking response. Once close to the piece the viewer is greatly affected both it physically and mentally. The feeling of pain, harm and suffering is evoked. After the initial reaction of harm, the viewer may turn to analysing the work, in which may lead them to self reflection, on ones current life situation.
