In this way, their meaning can change very rapidly and become wholly incomprehensible to outsiders. The artist chose the most analogue of media: woven fabric. He made Orgy of Narcissus especially for this exhibition, in collaboration with the TextielLab, the professional workshop of the TextielMuseum, in the Dutch city of Tilburg.”

"Working together with Textiellab in Tilburg, the Netherlands, Amorales has made a new installation for The Factory titled Orgy of Narcissus (2019), a frieze comprising 60 sections of textile woven from silk thread in which the artist examines the phenomenon of the Internet meme (images that spread rapidly online, their form and meaning constantly shifting) with overlapping streams of depictions of a figure captured in an endless narcissistic orgy.”
