It’s always the same: the point is that on the one hand we are in danger of burning up, of evaporating, of going too fast, of dissolving, and on the other hand we are in danger of freezing, rigidifying, of becoming mummified and unable to move. Dizziness contains within it both extremes.
Break camp, break in, break the mould.
It always starts with art.
Can dizziness be a resource? What remains from states of precariousness, uncertainty, disorientation, intoxication or exhilaration? Particularly now, in these times of invocations of global crisis, these questions are more relevant than ever. The exhibition ‘Dizziness. Navigating the Unknown’ locates dizziness in artistic creativity, finding it in situations of unbalance, confusion, disorientation
The Institute for Medical & Health Humanities and Artistic Research organizes events online and at different locations for the exchange about current projects and initiatives. It wants to contribute to the further development of the discourses in the field of the Medical & Health Humanities, but focus in particular on the manifold connections between the Medical & Health Humanities and artistic research.
“Dizzy Dress” is a colourful silk dress featuring anatomical illustrations of the inner ear and findings from our research on dizziness.
