Heesun Park reviews Gabriel Orozco

- Orozco endows objects with personal and social meanings that express his own sense of displacement in a nomadic art world. In some of his works, he appears to view the world itself as a readymade, for instance in photographs highlighting strange juxtapositions found by chance in the environment, such as an arrangement of twigs on a sidewalk or a bicycle resting on a fallen tree in the desert.

- until you find another yellow schwalbe, Orozoco drove around Rome on a yellow motor scooter and snapped a photograph of every other yellow scooter he saw, as if to establish his own place in this foreign land.
