Gabriel Orozco
Born in 1962 in Veracruz (Mexico). Lives and works in Mexico City (Mexico) and New York (USA).

"La D.S" (1993), a truncated Citroën, as a metamorphosed symbol of the 1950s.

The D.S. constitutes an ironic commentary on a mythical object associated with a particular country (France) and a particular era (the "thirty glorious" post-war years). This is not, however, to deny the pleasure that is offered to the eyes, given that the car itself remains beautiful and poised - a seductive mini-goddess.
