"Orozco [in dark blue shirt] has created sculptural and photographic installations from the rubble he gathered on two sites in New York and in Baja California, Mexico. The objects that are displayed in a vitrine are detritus that Gabriel Orozco gathered at a playing field in New York City. Sandstars consists of 1,200 objects that now form a monumental sculptural carpet on the gallery floor. The sculptural work is accompanied by large-scale gridded photographs of images of the individual objects. Gabriel Orozco photographed the objects under natural lighting conditions in his studio and then arranged them according to their material, color, size, etc. Asterisms is the 18th and final project in the Deutsche Guggenheim's commission program that started in 1997." - Adriano
