Parkett Vol. 92
Quote from Parkett
"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 No. 92, 2013"
