A conversation with Giacomo Orth about his current exhibition, “away from reality II”
In his drawings, artist Giacomo Orth explores those moments that break through automated perception—moments that manage to endure longer than the fleeting nature of the instant. Capturing these enduring images can be understood as the motivation behind his work. In this context, detached perception, observation, and seeing are just as integral to the work as the process of drawing itself. His sculptures expand the artistic exploration of reality, which is more than the sum of its parts.
Through October 3, some of his drawings and sculptures will be on display in the four rooms of the Caspar David Friedrich Gallery as part of the exhibition “away from reality II.” Would you like to learn more about his creative process, motifs, or individual works? Then the artist talk on September 1, 2026, at 5 p.m. offers the perfect opportunity! You’ll also have the chance to engage in a conversation with the artist yourself.
Admission to the event is free. We would greatly appreciate a voluntary donation to support our work.
