Reimagining Reality with Everyday Objects (Gabriel Orozco) | Art21

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Gabriel Orozco, from the "Loss & Desire" episode in Season 2 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Loss & Desire" premiered in September 2003 on PBS.

The segment follows Gabriel Orozco as he creates situations with objects on the street and photographs them. Orozco’s interest in logic, systems, and physics is revealed in his series of games and in the dramatic La D.S.—a Citroën car split down the center and reassembled to elongate its shape.

What a wonderful, clear demonstration of the creative process and how it’s always happening. Removing the safe space of the studio is very intriguing. Depends on what materials you need to express yourself of course. TY for a thought provoking experience.

"I like to walk and observe things...enjoy them....The camera is a way to awareness" placelessness here means he is out of confinement, isolation and the bubble on his own in a studio is fascinating. Walk and talk is being intimate and trusting your openness to the world is simplicity as well as difficult because he is both outside capitalism and being told how to think and feel within the machine for creation and also enjoyed by major art galleries. This struggle and tension is not clear in his work but present because his walk around opens us to this through the objects he sees, his awareness. The supermarket with its dominant place in society also, playfully, opens us to placelessness and the fun out of place objects can appear to the camera and to catching our eye. Thanks for the documentary.

Riveting ! What a beutiful ceative mind, yes the studio is isolating... profound that all the spaces between work and suataining life are lost !
I get curious about the upbringing of such creatives.

pues no ocupa taller porque no lo necesita pues no trabaja con materiales plasticos convecionales por lo que tampoco podriamos decir que es un genio o todo lo contrario!
