After graduating with an honours degree in fashion-knitwear design, Orta began practising as a visual artist in 1991.

Orta's most emblematic works include: Refuge Wear and Body Architecture , portable architecture, lightweight and autonomous structures representing issues of survival. Nexus Architecture are participative interventions in which a variable number of people wear suits connected to each other, shaping modular and collective structures, which visualise the concept of social link.
