Sergio De La TORRE
Lives in Oakland , California and Tijuana, Mexico
(Don Bergfors) Waiting for Gabriel Orozco, San Diego Airport, from the series "10 Artists, 10 Drivers, 10 Cities" (2005-07, work in progress)
C-Print photograph
2005-07

« The idea is to photograph 10 drivers at 10 different airports waiting for 10 different artists. In front of the camera a Limousine Service Driver is patiently waiting, with a sign in their hands, for one of the ten artists that will never arrive. The artists include Gabriel Orozco, Olafour Elliason and Santiago Sierra, among others. The artists' names are selected based on their international presence within contemporary art spaces including museums, galleries, biennials, publications and art events in the last five years.

The Process involves hiring a Limousine Driver to go to any given International Airport and pick up a given artist. Drivers are expected to arrive 5 minutes before the arrival and wait for 10 minutes. These photographs will not be staged. The driver is real and he believes the artist he is waiting for will more likely arrive. Like in Waiting for Godot where two tramps are waiting by a sickly looking tree for the arrival of M. Godot. They quarrel, make up, contemplate suicide, try to sleep, eat a carrot and gnaw on some chicken bones. However he never comes and the two tramps resume their vigil by the tree, which between the first and second day has sprouted a few leaves. In this case the camera will capture moments at the airport that are hard to predict. » Sergio De La Torre
