United Kingdom + Argentina
Lucy Orta was born in Sutton Coldfield in the United Kingdom. After graduating in fashion design at the University of Nottingham in 1989, she began working as a visual artist in Paris. In 1991 she met Jorge Orta, her husband, and gave up fashion design to devote herself to plastic research called "body architecture".
Jorge Orta was born in Rosario, Argentina, and simultaneously studied fine arts and architecture. In a chaotic social and political context under the Argentine dictatorship, he develops alternative modes of expression and representation.
In 1992 they created the Studio Orta in Paris to allow the development of their work and in 2000 they set up their studio in Seine et Marne. Since 2002 Lucy Orta has been a research professor in art and environment at the London College of Fashion.
