Karl Orth - digital iron

With rough tools, the Munich artist Karl Orth creates sculptures out of iron with a very unique aesthetic and a charisma somewhere between emotion and morbidity.

However, the real charisma of the works is only revealed to the viewer where it is possible to experience the works in their plasticity.

The limits of photography

Even the best photo fails to depict a sculpture adequately.

The spatial dimension that characterizes a sculpture cannot be depicted with a photo.

The third dimension in digital space

In order to preserve the three-dimensionality of these works in the digital space, we have made high-resolution 3D scans.

Hundreds of photos of various works were taken in the artist's studio near the forge, hammer and tongs.

The result is a small collection of these works, which can now be experienced interactively in all three dimensions on Sketchfab.

It quickly becomes clear how much more authentically a sculpture can be presented as soon as it is digitally recorded and depicted in all three spatial dimensions
