Damian Ortega: Estridentopolis

Anthropomorphic skyscraper sculptures from a master of found materials Mexican artist Damián Ortega (born 1967) makes sculptures and installations from industrial objects such as VW car parts and trash barrels. This project features a small-scale “city” of skyscrapers with the heads of animals alongside disembodied workers’ garments and wrinkled, patterned collages made from cement bags.
