Lorenz Pasch

Lorenz Pasch (*1990) is a process-oriented artist whose practice emerges from a “thinking through making” approach. He received his MFA from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg in 2023 and his Diploma in Painting / Fine Arts from Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee in 2020. Pasch’s work examines the relationship between intention and non-intention, time, authorship, and the traces left by actions.

At the center of his recent practice is the concept of action trouvée, which refers not to found objects but to found actions—unintended gestures and functional remnants observed in purpose-driven environments such as construction sites. These observations inform his sculptural and spatial works, in which subtle disruptions, precarious balances, and momentary states of potentiality play a decisive role.

Working from his studio in an industrial area in northeastern Berlin, Pasch combines material experimentation with the aesthetics of everyday processes, translating the contingent, the provisional, and the nearly overlooked into precise artistic forms.
