Object Type
Working across different media, Gabriel Orozco is known for his use of everyday materials to create provocative works that explore the ways in which the meaning we attach to objects and spaces shifts with usage and context. Orozco’s playful use of the readymade lightbulb cartons in Focos Philips recalls the geometric forms and arrangements of Minimalism.
