Daniela Ortiz

Ortiz’s work focuses on spaces in tension. He brings into question exclusion processes while revealing colonial dynamics still present in many contemporary societies. In 97 empleadas domésticas (97 maids), the artist shows the invisibility of domestic staff using photographs taken from social networks of wealthy families in Peru. On the other hand, in Habitaciones de servicio (Room Service), she focuses her attention on the vital space allocated to the domestic worker using architectural plans of Lima houses from 1930 to 2012. Both works allow not only a sharp look at the persistence of discriminatory dynamics, but also at its radicalization in the context of greater economic liberality.
