Caprii by Sies + Höke, Orangeriestr. 6, 40213 Düsseldorf.

Each of the solo and group exhibitions composing the dynamic, playful programme of Caprii is accompanied by a booklet, which offers an extended plane for holistically encountering the praxis of the respective artists.

The ninth edition is dedicated to the solo exhibition of Till Megerle (b. 1979), a Vienna-based artist whose practice spans drawing, gouache, and photography. Megerle’s drawings are shaped by memory and subconscious associations, blending the familiar with the uncanny. His works explore themes of connection and isolation, capturing ambiguous moments that feel intimate yet unsettling.
Megerle’s process bridges photographic imagery and dreamlike abstraction, expanding static images into layered, atmospheric compositions. Figures in his works seem suspended between generations, their gestures at once tender and enigmatic. This tension reflects his fascination with memory and its ability to blur past and present.

The booklet series is designed by Studio Thomas Spallek and is made using remnant paper stock sourced from Druckerei Kettler.

Till Megerle has lived in Vienna for some time now. He studied in Vienna at a historically protected academy with skylit studios and centuries-old wooden tribunes in the drawing hall, where he now also teaches and paces up and down the steps during the evening life drawing sessions—an exercise practiced in more or less the same way for the last 300 years, in which students equipped with wooden drawing boards sketch models posed on a central pedestal. The drawings in this show were made in a classic prewar apartment building with high ceilings, few rooms, and parquet floors well-trodden by generations of complete strangers, which nobody right now could afford, much like the high ceilings that no contemporary owner could build, while the often makeshift bathrooms were only installed much later on.[...]
