A research-performance (“e)spiritu-virtu” with Dennis Dizon

A research-performance (“e)spiritu-virtu” with Dennis Dizon took place at Tallinn Art Hall in October 2020.

Dennis Dizon was the winner of the first Residency Programme at Tallinn Art Hall, which is part of the large-scale cooperation project BEYOND MATTER – Cultural Heritage on the Verge of Virtual Reality, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. It is dedicated to novel, digital approaches to exhibition revival, documentation and dissemination, as well as the artistic, curatorial and museological development of the opportunities presented by virtual representation.

(e)spiritu-virtu invoked a queer approach to (an ecological) crisis. Sharing stories and encounters through (cursed) images, texts and videos, the presentation was an attempt at (a sacred) recovery from colonial history, queer trauma and ecological violence.
