Synopsis

This is the portrait of one of the most outstanding Mexican artists in the world of contemporary art; a reflection about the identity of a person immersed in a world that worships technology and falls into a voracious consumerism. In this panorama, famed artist Gabriel Orozco expounds a modest invitation to contemplate a reality that we do not perceive very often.

Director

Original

Juan Carlos Martín

He is also an award-winning director of commercials and music videos. His debut feature-length documentary Gabriel Orozco premiered at the Muestra de Cine Mexicano, where it won Best Film and Best Director — the first time a documentary, rather than a fiction film, had won the first prize.
