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:
