Thomas Hirschhorn (born in Bern, 1957) is a Swiss installations artist.
In the 1980's he worked in Paris as a graphic artist. He was part of the group of communist graphic designers called Grapus. These artists were concerned with politics and culture, displaying impromptu creations and posters on the street mostly using the language of advertisement. He left Grapus to create the hypersaturated installations he is known for today, using common materials such as cardboard, foil, duct tape, and plastic wrap.

Thomas Hirschhorn is best known for his constructions of foil, plastic, cardboard and packing tape that appear both in art institutions and in public places. They gather together references to philosophy and popular culture, economics and poetry, artists and fashion designers, in a bombardment of information and imagery. The initial effect is overwhelming, but close attention reveals careful explorations of the contemporary socio-cultural climate, and of the work of various left-leaning intellectuals including Deleuze and Bataille. Hirschhorn's contribution to Common Wealth includes a new installation Hotel Democracy, which assembles and houses different manifestations of the democratic spirit. - David Cohen on Thomas Hirschhorn at Gladstone
