Gabriel Orozco presents for the first time in France videos during the Nuits Blanches.
Born in 1962 in Jalapa (Mexico), he lives and works in Mexico City and New York (USA).
Through a polymorphous work where sculpture dialogues with photography, Gabriel Orozco develops an art of attitude and experimentation that reveals the infraordinary to question and enrich the viewer's perception, while posing the question of social sculpture. Of Mexican culture, he integrates in his works references to his own roots and the vision of an observer of signs and symbols of other cultures. Through unusual encounters with objects, or by recycling them, Orozco offers a new temporality to things while infusing them with a unique poetry.
Le Printemps de Cahors presents a series of photographs from the 1990s, including five works specially created for the exhibition, as well as the clay installation Poissons.
