Overview
Gabriel Orozco explores the creative associations between overlooked objects in today's world, deliberately blurring the boundaries separating artwork and everyday environment.
In this work, Gabriel Orozco re-creates an image from his own 1992―1993 photograph, using elements found in Sharjah. Accompanying texts and diagrams explain the theory of self-organising criticality.
