Orozco
Julio
Orozco is a conceptual artist that has developed a wide artistic range
that includes installations, video and photography. Orozco is from Tijuana,
and his work-which uses fact and fiction- documents the changing face
of the city as it has been going through a dynamic transformation in
recent years. His knowledge of the city goes beyond the surfaces of
the urban and into the psyche of the residents of the city, who, in
the midst of rapid development, are having a hard time holding onto
notions of fixed realities. They, however, continue to use dream and
fantasy, as coping mechanisms to the changing conditions that attempt
to quickly erase the past to serve a not yet conceived future.
