Pinakothek der Moderne

Thomas Hirschhorn’s Double Garage is a workshop-cum-hobby room and the unexpected site where fundamental categories of human feeling and action are thrashed out: violence and counter-violence, revenge and reconciliation. The work was triggered by and is a response to the events of September 11. Like no other work of contemporary art, Double Garage reflects the political, economic, and social interdependencies and contradictions of early 21st century life, in all its perplexing complexity.
