Gabriel Orozco's photography is often in tableux style, manipulating the environment and subjects that are featured in each picture. These tableux's are often of a transient nature, depicting an event or subject whose aesthetic is often only temporary.
What draws me in to Gabriel Orozco's photography is exactly this transient nature of his subjects, a breath on a piano, lemons on merchant stands, or a deflated soccer ball filled with water in the indentation. He manages to create an intriguing photograph, without the use of people or action. In a sense its documentary, as these subjects/objects/ setups will only be around for a short while. In this sense it is not sculptural at all, as nothing in the photograph will have a permanent life.
