Orozco at the Tate

My only photo of the exhibition.
This is the photo I have of Gabriel Orozo's exhibition at the Tate Modern. It is not allowed to take photographs at the museum. It is always frustrating not been able to take some pics home. 
The work that impressed me the most is the one with the intriguing obituaries taken from the newspaper. The exhibition has a few more weeks to go.
