Gabriel Orozco is renowned for creating works that highlight the organic and geometric phenomena found in the everyday. His works have taken the form of sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, and video. In his photographic works, Orozco records things as he finds them on the streets, or documents his intervened situations with found on site objects.
This is the first major publication to focus solely on Orozco’s photographs. Essays by Phyllis Rosenzweig, Curator of Works on Paper at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, and Mia Fineman, Research Associate in the Department of Photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, present in-depth analyses of the artist’s photographs and explore the difference between the photographs he regards as artworks in their own right and his documentary images recording his sculptures or performances.
