Giacomo Orth: away from reality II

In his drawings, the artist Giacomo Orth explores those moments that break through automated perception – moments that manage to last longer beyond the fleeting nature of the instant. Capturing these enduring images can be seen as the motivation behind his work. In this context, detached perception, observation and seeing are just as important to his artistic work as the process of drawing itself. His sculptures expand the artistic exploration of reality, which is more than the sum of its parts.

At the heart of Giacomo Orth’s work lies the tension between the subjective perception, the supposedly objective, and the impossibility of fully reconstructing reality.
