“Sculpture Direct”

"I want to make a just monument. The "Sculpture Direct" is the physical result of a forced confrontation between two wills. One will coming from above - power -, the other coming from beneath - the heart. One is the support, the other is the message. The two wills are condemned to exist together, thus ensuing confusion . Confusion is the actual meaning of the "Sculpture Direct". The "Sculpture Direct" has no volume. I have realized in the third dimension what I have conceived in two dimensions. It is a new work."

Thomas Hirschhorn, July 1999
