Debora Hirsch: Herbaria is currently on view at Hutchinson Modern & Contemporary.
Debora Hirsch (b. 1967) was born in São Paulo, Brazil. She received an MSc in Industrial Engineering from the University of São Paulo and an MBA from Bocconi University in Milan. Hirsch’s works are both harmonious and complex, born of an erudite and poetic construction from scattered and decontextualized elements: fragments of landscapes, architectural details, traces of traditional decorative motifs that unconsciously recall the microscopic life, scientific representations, decoded elements of digital language, algorithms, and elements borrowed from American colonial imagery.
