This transition was intuitive for Ortega, and his sculptures and installations maintain the piercing, satirical eye required of his former occupation. He is internationally admired for his sculptures that literally deconstruct and reconfigure commercial products such as Coke bottles or, in one of his most celebrated works, a Volkswagen Beetle. Ortega presents these vernacular objects in precise arrangements that cohere into witty representations of diagrams, faces, words and buildings. Many of these pieces, however, are suspended in the air; by virtue of the space between the objects, the resulting representations appear fragmented.\u003cbr\u003eThis catalog, published alongside the exhibition at Centro Bot?, exclusively displays these suspended works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dami疣 Ortega\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8418934476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788418934476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e La Fabrica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.89h x 9.53w x 0.79d","brand":"Dami疣 Ortega","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131974807807,"sku":"9788418934476","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a47a0136-6f83-446e-bfc8-b98b40fda576.jpg?v=1687477490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dami-n-ortega-dami-n-ortega-9788418934476","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
