Lot Essay

"We are looking at an artist who analyses the alphabet created by sculpture in art history, and then mixes it with the alphabet created by things in reality. Inside Orozcos work, a series of threads are woven, but along those threads the communication flow is interrupted by knots of meaning. These knots are, simply, those things transformed into sculpture which break the circuit of artistic language.
