My Atlas # Our Atlas is the first major anthological exhibition in Europe in 20 years by Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn. This ambitious show outlines the trajectory of the artist from some of his iconic early works never previously shown, in dialogue with new works created specifically for the occasion, such as My Atlas (2025) and Gravity, Mass and Democracy (2025).
In addition, Helga de Alvear Museum presents Fake it, Fake it – till you Fake it (2023) a monumental work that will be shown for the first time in Europe and for the second time worldwide, as well as the reconfiguration of Power Tools (2007) and its activation through the new Power Tools Workshop (2025).
The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to gain deeper insight into the complexity of Hirschhorn’s oeuvre and his unwavering commitment to formal experimentation and critical thought.
