Description

The Mattatoio hosts the first individual exhibition in Italy by Luis Felipe Ortega (Mexico City, 1966), who represented Mexico, along with Tania Candiani, at the 56th Biennale di Venezia.

Through a selection of artworks -namely video, photograph, installation, and drawings - the exhibition features the complexity of the visual research undertaken by the author as a main actor in the generation of artists that emerged in Mexico in the early nineties and that made multimediality the cornerstone of their own production.

The artworks selected for this occasion display the crucial points in the articulation of Ortega’s itinerary, which is traversed - as if by a subterraneous nourishment - by references to art history, philosophy, literature, and poetry.
