Editor: This untitled work by Gabriel Orozco presents a somewhat ghostly image. It’s subtle, a textured square within a larger frame. What sort of symbols do you see at play here? Curator: It feels like a memory, doesn't it? The hazy image hints at something just beyond our grasp. The square format itself is a symbol – containment, a fragment lifted from a larger narrative. What does that provoke in you? Editor: Maybe a sense of incompleteness? Like a piece of something lost. Curator: Precisely. Orozco often explores the idea of absence and presence, and how traces of past experiences linger, shaping our present perceptions. It's fascinating how a simple image can evoke such complex emotions and cultural associations. Editor: I see that now. Thanks for explaining it. Curator: My pleasure, it's always about looking beyond the surface.

This is one of a suite of twelve prints in a portfolio entitled Polvo Impreso meaning ‘printed dust’. The images were created by pressing layers of lint onto soft ground etching plates and printing the resulting texture, using the chine collé technique, onto natural Gampi (a very thin paper) laid on Fabriano Tiepolo paper. The portfolio was printed by Jacob Samuel, Santa Monica, USA and published by the artist and Editions & Artists’ Books Johan Deumens, Heemstede, the Netherlands. Tate’s copy is the twenty-second in the edition of twenty-five plus seven sets of artist’s proofs. Ten copies are bound books; the remaining fifteen are in loose portfolios, presented in a box. Tate’s is one of the loose portfolios.
