Each part has been hung in an exaggerated constellation of doors, engine block, axles, wheels, upholster, and frame so that the whole looks blown out, all frozen motion and volume diagrammed in steel.
Materialista
Ortega finds a way to turn everyday objects into extraordinary pieces of art.

“I’m interested in those very everyday attempts to produce meaning.” say Damián Ortega. He creates amazing suspended , like his Cosmic Thing (2002), a gray Beetle, suspended suspended from the gallery’s ceiling by high-test aircraft cables. Ortega has meticulously disassembled the car, evidently taking the VW ideology of user-friendliness at its word.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
