Editor: So, here we have an untitled print by Gabriel Orozco. It’s a small, square image, almost ghostly in its muted tones. How do you interpret this work? Curator: It feels like a captured breath, doesn't it? A quiet moment, almost ephemeral. Orozco often plays with the mundane, transforming the ordinary into something poetic. The square, for me, acts as a frame for contemplation, inviting us to find beauty in the simplest textures. What do you think? Editor: That's interesting! I was focused on the texture, seeing it as maybe a magnified detail. Curator: Exactly! It's about shifting our perspective. Orozco encourages us to slow down and truly *see*. It's in that close looking where the magic happens. Editor: I'll definitely keep that in mind, looking closer. Curator: Me too! It's like finding a new universe in a tiny detail, isn't it?

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.
