Conducción de energia (Azucar)

2005

A chromogenic print in five parts by Mexican artist Damián Ortega, *Conducción de energia (Azucar)* explores the material and political life of sugar through fragmented photographic sequences. Ortega dissects the substance's journey, transforming it into a meditation on labor, economy, and the hidden energies embedded in everyday commodities. The multi-panel format reinforces his characteristic approach of breaking objects and systems into their component parts to reveal underlying structures of power and production.
