Exhibition opening in the gallery of the CDF Centre

We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition 'away from reality II' by Giacomo Orth on Friday, 31 July 2026, at 17:30.

In his drawings, the artist Giacomo Orth deals with those moments that break through automated perception - moments that manage to last longer than the fleetingness of the moment. Capturing these lasting images can be understood as the motivation behind his work. Detached perception, observation and seeing are just as important a part of his work as the process of drawing itself. His sculptures expand the artistic exploration of reality, which is more than the sum of its parts. The core of Giacomo Orth's work lies in the tension between the subjectively perceived, the supposedly objective and the impossibility of completely reconstructing reality.

Born in Rostock in 1996, the artist completed a Master's degree in Fine Arts at the Caspar David Friedrich Institute at the University of Greifswald. Since 2021, he has been working there as an artistic assistant at the Chair of New Media and Applied Graphics in Professor Rozbeh Asmani's field of visual arts. Giacomo Orth has been successfully represented at art exhibitions for five years. Among other things, curator Tereza de Arruda invited him to take part in the "ON WATER & PLANTS" exhibition at the Troy House Art Foundation in London in 2023. He is the winner of the prestigious "Rostock Art Prize 2025" in the category "Artistic Graphics" and is involved in the associated exhibition at the Kunsthalle Rostock. From 16 June to 10 July 2026, his works will be presented in the follow-up exhibition to the prize in the foyer of Provinzial Nord in Kiel, which is a major sponsor of the Rostock Art Prize.
