Damian Ortega | Parkett






Damian Ortega
Parkett
Zurich, Switzerland: Parkett, 2013
19 x 19 x 2 cm.
Edition of 35 signed and numbered copies


Produced for Parkett #92, this work consists of parquet flooring with 12 painted segments,
each unique.


"In the spirit of Duchamp, Ortega (like many of his peers) deploys the readymade to great effect. Using store-bought goods such as cameras, cars, and tools, his work establishes, by virtue of their prior reality as useful things, a reciprocal relationship between the realms of the everyday and art."

- Helen Molesworth, Parkett 92
