Light Works
'Poeme Infographique' for the Pompidou Centre Paris (1992); 'Imprints on the Andes' an expedition across the Andes Mountain range and culminating in the Machu Picchu citadel in Peru for the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the Americas (1992). He has bathed the facades of the Venetian Palaces in light graffiti 'Light Messenger', representing Argentina at the Venice Biennale (1995); and more obsolete World Heritage sites such as Cappadocia in Turkey; the medieval city Cuenca over hanging the Hueca canyon in Spain; Aso, the largest volcano in activity on the island of Kyushu Japan; Place Stanlistas in Nancy for the World Transplant Athletes' Games; and the cathedrals of Chartres, Evry and the Zocolo in Mexico City.
Together with his partner Lucy Orta, they co-founded Studio-Orta in Paris (1991) and The Dairy, Marne La Vallé (2002) research and collaboration centres for the coordination and production of the multi-dimensional practice: artworks, interventions, editions, workshops, seminars and residencies.
