In the Hirschhorn presentation from YouTube the following questions appeared:
Q: When is the excess of material a critique and when is it a redoubling, a confirmation of the excess?
Thomas Hirschhorn: It's never too much. This is really the point. I don't say that for the viewer I can control this. I can't put myself in the mind of the viewer and say: Now it's enough. This is to say "I have control". I don't want to have a control. It's never a confirmation of the society we are leaving in, becouse it is not made with the real to confirm it.
Q: OK.
TH: The problem is. When I should say "Now is enough". It's like someone decoratinga house. One chair too much. It's never a confirmation. I can not make this depending on my aesthetical judgement. I can only base it on my will.
Q: You don't want a moment of control and distance. It's difficult to think about your work sometimes. You take terms like aesthetic, evaluation, judgement and you want to refunction them. A we listen to you we have our own assoctiations, we go with you as your redirect them. Your project seems to repurpose terms, thats where the confusion lies.
