CaCO3, Hyperbolic Andamento

Curated by Daniele Torcellini

As part of the Orsoni Art & Culture programme, Domus Orsoni is hosting Hyperbolic Andamento, an exhibition by the collective CaCO3, selected for On the Occasion of Homo Faber 2026.

Founded in Ravenna in 2006 by Âniko Ferreira da Silva, Giuseppe Donnaloia, and Pavlos Mavromatidis, CaCO3 develops a research-based practice that brings together contemporary art, mosaic, and material experimentation. The works on display reinterpret mosaic as a living language, exploring the relationship between light, matter, space, and movement.

The exhibition takes its title from the andamento, the compositional principle that governs the arrangement of mosaic tesserae. Through dynamic surfaces that shift with the viewer’s perspective, the exhibition invites visitors to experience mosaic as a constantly evolving perceptual journey.

The encounter between Orsoni Venezia 1888 and CaCO3 creates a dialogue between Venice and Ravenna, two cities that have shaped the history of mosaic, demonstrating how this ancient technique continues to serve as a powerful medium for contemporary artistic research.

The exhibition concludes on 16 October with the opening event of the third edition of Incontri in Fornace, a lecture series curated by Daniele Torcellini and dedicated this year to mosaic in contemporary art.
