Gabriel Orozco Yielding Stone (Piedra que cede), 1992

Yielding Stone is a ball made of plasticine—a soft and malleable material that never hardens. Orozco rolled the ball through the streets of New York where it picked up dirt and debris from the sidewalks. Through this action the ball was imprinted with a record of its movements, expressing the notion of a body in action. This ball is purposefully the same weight as Orozco, adding to this idea of the object illustrating a body in motion.
