Episode #039: Gabriel Orozco discusses recent photographs taken in Mexico and Ecuador in 2007, and the role photography plays in his broader artistic practice.
Gabriel Orozcos sculptures and photographs disrupt conventional notions of reality. Drawing our attention to slips in logic, philosophical games, and hidden geometries, Orozco uncovers the extraordinary aspects of the seemingly everyday. His use of humble materials and means (graphite on bone, a ball of clay, a 35mm camera) engages the imagination through its disarming simplicity and intimacy.
Gabriel Orozco is featured in the Season 2 (2003) episode Loss & Desire of the Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century television series on PBS.

I feel the same about snapping pictures of everything. It distracts from real looking.

Gabriel Orozco is great, I have seen pieces of his art on big museums like SFMOMA, he is international and proudly mexican. What you see on this video is nothing in comparison with the rest if his work.

His photos look common, and that is the challenge for photographers today who are aware of their history...
