==Education== Perlman attended Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
==Work== Hirsch Perlman’s oeuvre spans sculpture, scripted film, stop-motion animation and photography. His experimental, accumulative, and often time-based practice draws the viewer into his rigorous tests of visual and literal, and the limits of control. He implements simple materials and clichés, reworked to produce poignant and unexpected results. His large silk-screen prints of cat drawings entitled Schrödinger Cats are named for the Austrian physicist’s experiment to illustrate the paradox of quantum mechanics and the contingencies of physical context. The emblematic cat trapped in a box, and simultaneously dead and alive has been co-opted by popular and science-fiction writers from Robert Anton Wilson to Douglas Adams. In the early 1990s, Perlman produced a series of works around the theme of evidence, several of which were included in the 1992 exhibition Exhibit A, held at the Serpentine Gallery, in London.
