We saw Thomas Hirschhorn at the trip to the New Museum on Tuesday. The bottom image is the work from a show similar to it to jog your memory (just in case) but there weren't any images up of the work from the New Museum...eh...next time. All the images that come before are all his work as well.

I decided to do a search on Hirschhorn since I'd never heard of him before (but I had seen his work before) and found that he is a prolific and eccentric artist, in the sense that he doesn't seem to stick with any one media.
He's described as a political artist and I do see the message in his work, but most importantly, his work struck something in me. The images at the new museum were filled with images of war and porn. Like "Faces of Death", morbid images of corpses in various stages of mutilation and decay were splayed between images of porn and pop culture.
In a sense, all those images combined to give me a lens into our current situation, and I was exhilarated at the epiphany and terrified by it all at the same time.
