Lucy Orta.

Orta Water - Mobile intervention unit, 2005

Lucy Orta was trained as a fashion designer and began working as an artist in the beginning of the 1990’s to create what she called “architectures with soul”

In 1991 Orta established the Paris-based Studio-Orta, which operates as a research and development studio for artworks and limited editions by Lucy and Jorge Orta, and as an administrative bureau for their exhibitions, collaborations, and commissions. Studio-Orta’s team of curators, designers, architects, engineers, musicians, artisans, fabricators, production assistants and technicians employ a range of techniques from object making, couture, painting, printing, light projections, performances, public events and communications strategies to investigate crucial themes of the world today: the community and the social link, dwelling and habitat, nomadism and mobility, sustainable development, ecology and recycling.
