• description: In January 2020, <a href="https://documenta-studien.de/en">Documenta Studies</a> invited me to participate in their program Learning Unlearning in Kassel—just months before the world was reshaped by social distancing protocols. By the time the talk was meant to take place, gathering in a shared physical space had become impossible. This limitation became an opening. Instead of being physically together, we found ourselves inhabiting a different kind of shared space, one built in virtual reality. Here, the talk took the form of a guided visit within a virtual space designed specifically for the occasion. An immersive installation, a shifting landscape of audiovisual interventions. The audience, embodied as avatars, was not merely present but active, moving freely, speaking, interacting, and contributing to the experience itself. In this setting, the boundaries between guide and visitor, speaker and listener, dissolved. The visit was non-guided, and the exhibition, perhaps, never truly existed, except in the experience of those who inhabited it.
