TABITA REZAIRE

Tore Hallas was born and raised in Copenhagen, where he currently resides. His work explores themes of fatness and queerness, religious ontologies and intention, and the interaction between the world and the othered body and mind. Hallas works with video, photography, and text, which he combines in his work to create powerful installations. His focus on personal narratives and intersectionalities of violences and positionalities make his art particularly resonant with contemporary audiences. The interplay between the physical and symbolic journey is a recurring motif in his work, reflecting his own experiences of displacement and quest. Hallas feels that all forms of self-acceptance start with demanding a place in society, which can be challenging for big people, who are constantly told to shrink themselves. One of Hallas’ most notable works is his video installation “And going after strange flesh,” which explores intersectionality and discrimination.
