From August 2 to 24, 2025, Mitterolang becomes an open-air art gallery. The Italian street artist Omar Allievi, known under his artist name Cage and a long-time guest of our village, will create a new artwork on the façade of the old municipal building.

At the heart of the project is a large existing banner depicting the Hochalpensee lake. Rather than replacing it, Omar will creatively upcycle the material, using it as a base for a new artistic composition. This approach fosters a unique dialogue between photography and street art, between natural imagery and urban creativity. Visitors and locals are invited to witness the artistic process live. On odd-numbered days, Omar will work onsite from 9:30–11:30 a.m. and 4:30–6:30 p.m., welcoming curious onlookers to observe, interact, and gain insights into his work.

Born in Milan in 1979, Omar is both an artist and a professional chef. His creative journey began with writing and evolved into a style focused on letterforms and geometry. He has exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Triennale di Milano and worked on numerous commissioned projects across Italy.

During the pandemic, he found a new artistic voice that merges his two passions – art and cuisine. For Omar, Valdaora has been a source of inspiration for over a decade. Now, he returns to leave a visible, meaningful and sustainable artistic footprint in the heart of the village.
