Catalogue Note

“The Samurai Tree series has very specific rules… It starts from the center of the square, then grows and doubles and halves… I thought that establishing some rules, I could build up a structure that behaves like a sculpture. So it’s a flat mobile maybe, or it’s a diagram that is rotating and moving and is not behaving like a painting in a way.” Gabriel Orozco
