Thomas Hirschhorn,
‘De-Pixelation’ @
Gladstone Gallery
—
‘A deeply personal,
political & socially-
engaged body of
work that explores
the limitations and
deceitfulness of
imagery found
throughout popular
culture and the
media.’
‘De–Pixelation’:
Marks the ending
of Swiss-born
Hirschhorn's
2-year spanning
“Pixel-Collage”
series, employing
a mix of collaging
techniques, which
calls into question
the legitimacy of
imagery that has
been altered to
protect the viewer
from unpleasant
depictions of
gruesome human
suffering & violence.
“My engagement in
the problematic of
‘pixelation’ and
‘de-pixelation’
comes from the
decision to see and
look at the world as
it is, and to insist
in doing so.”
Keywords:
Pixels, blurring,
masking, censorship.
