Damián Ortega (present)

Damián Ortega creates sculptures, installations, videos and actions inspired by a wide range of everyday objects. Damián Ortega was born in 1967 in Mexico City; he currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Ortega has exhibited worldwide. In one of his most recent projects he created a suspended, disassembled VW gray Beetle. The result was both a diagram and a fragmented object that offered a new way of seeing the “people’s car” first developed in Nazi Germany but now produced en masse in his native Mexico (source: www.whitecube.com).
