Swiss Made

Thomas Hirschhorn's *Swiss Made* is a frenetic assemblage of everyday industrial materials—cardboard, aluminum foil, felt, wood, plastic, and transparent foil—characteristic of the artist's signature aesthetic of urgent, lo-fi construction. The work reflects Hirschhorn's critical engagement with consumerism, globalization, and Swiss national identity, using humble, disposable materials to challenge notions of value and craftsmanship. Its deliberately rough and accumulative quality creates a tension between the polished reputation of Swiss manufacturing and the raw, unrefined nature of its making.
