DAMIÁN ORTEGA: MOLECULE DANCE


AUGUST 27, 2021 – JANUARY 16, 2022


Damián Ortega (b. Mexico City, 1967) uses everyday objects and humble materials in his work, altering their functions and transforming them into novel experiences and scenarios. In this way, he invites us to reexamine knowledge and ways of thinking, from a different perspective. Often drawing on scientific models, as representative of how we order and classify our world, he deftly applies wit and humor to build unexpected bridges between the cosmic and the molecular; and between science and poetry, as the two poles in our understanding of reality.


For his Project Atrium installation, Ortega was inspired by the mobile hanging over his daughter’s bed, that reminded him of a DNA chain. As he gazed on his sleeping daughter’s familiar features, the rhythm of the mobile made him think of a “stellar choreography”, moving from chaos to order, and the relationship of this cosmic dance with the cycle of genetic heritage. Molecule Dance attempts to reproduce this model of the two opposing forces of inertia and continuous movement that characterize our experience of time, and life itself.
