CARME CENTER. Museum, 2
The Carme Center dedicates its Ferreres room to review the work ofThe Oterge Dear Fund, an artist who did not quite fit into the photographic spheres of the years 80 because he dared to hybridize photography with sculpture at a time when the first lived in a tight spot. He looked for the volume, he expanded the image beyond the passe-partout and painted it, cut and overlay on materials such as methacrylate, the fabric or the crystal. sacrilege! You will check this at the beginning of the tour of Passat i present, the memory and its construction where a boxing ring with the Earth printed on the canvas evokes the constant struggle in which the planet finds itself, and where five printed cylinders symbolize political and economic powers. The black and white of this first area gives move on to two large color projects that Ortega has carried out in recent years around the subject of historical memory. One immortalizes the public work that was done in Spain by exploiting prisoners after the Civil War and the other does the same with civil and religious buildings that served as concentration camps during the conflict, like the Sant Miquel dels Reis Monastery in Valencia. These two projects are examples of the research work that characterizes the artist, two other traits are his concern for social issues and his passion for literature, that breathes in the series dedicated to countercurrent thinkers like Kundera, Kafka o Ardent.
