A deep glimpse

From May 25 to 29, 2026, Careof will host A Deep Glimpse — Final Exhibition; 2nd Year in Painting & Digital Art, featuring works by students from Accademia di Como Aldo Galli: Gerta Hameli, Aalma Lumière, Sancha, and Tristan d’Orgeval.

At the conclusion of their MA programme, the students present their latest projects through paintings, multimedia installations, and participatory works.

Starting from their own biographies and previous experiences, each student has developed, throughout the two-year course, a distinct visual language and field of research, here tested for the first time within an exhibition environment. All of the projects investigate social constraints while imagining new possibilities for generating forms of deviation and resistance to what is socially and culturally imposed by contemporary society.

In Do Tell and throughout the body of works presented, Gerta Hameli goes deep into the oneiric dimension and intimate social circle of her Kosovar community. Across generations and stories, dreams have formed a shared symbolic language. These works ask how telling preserves, transforms, and binds us together.

In Becoming Bodily, Sancha investigates the transcending experience of the birth of a new being. Through queer visual storytelling the spectator is invited to step into this new non-human world of the Fems, an ambiguous cyber world that rethinks our human modes of living.

Tristan d’Orgeval leads us into a universe of sketches, fleeting images, and repetitive sounds — ephemeral yet invasive at the same time. In Cabinet of Couriosity and Fool’s Ballad, he explores multiple personalities shaped by weakness, uncertainty, fear, and tenderness, attempting to respond to the normative structures imposed by society.

Aalma Lumière operates on a more intimate scale. Drawing from an identity crisis, the artist explores the fragmentation of the self and its vulnerabilities, placing human relationships and interaction at the core. The audience is thus invited to take an active part in the artwork through play, shared experience, and personal reflection.

What emerges is an intensity of diverse approaches - at times in dialogue, at others in contrast - stemming from the urgencies each student has chosen to explore within their own artistic journey. The works form part of the final projects that the students will present during their graduation sessions.

Conceived by Marta Bianchi, course coordinator and member of Careof, the initiative aims to bridge academic training and professional artistic practice. It offers students the opportunity to directly confront the demands, nuances, and limitations involved in producing work within an exhibition context.
