Tore Hallas

Tore Hallas is a DK-based artist, working primarily within film, photography, and sculpture. Through theatrical set-ups and intimate imagery, he invites us to reflect on the interaction between the world and the othered body and mind, exploring themes of queerness, fatness and religious ontologies. Which bodies are considered desirable and worthy of sexualization? Hallas approaches this question through film and sculpture staging how constructions of desire, ideals and power are formed.

Tore Hallas (b. 1984, Denmark) holds an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He is the recipient of the Danish Arts Council’s career program The Young Artistic Elite, as well as the Poul Erik Bech Foundation’s Art Prize and the 15. Juni Foundation’s Honorary Art Prize. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally— in the US, Sweden, the UK, Finland, Germany, Portugal, and South Korea. Hallas’s works are part of the collections of Vejle Museum of Art, Malmö Museum of Art, Sorø Art Museum, the Danish Arts Foundation, and ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art.
