'A Phantom’s Vibe' (esea contemporary, 2023) serves as an extended exhibition publication for artist Dinu Li's current solo exhibition at esea contemporary. This publication delves into the artist's multimedia practice, embracing D-I-Y aesthetics and Reggae visual tonality to amplify the hybridity of cultural identities.

The publication features four essays and conversations contributed by authors Sacha Craddock, Michael McMillan, Wenny Teo, and Xiaowen Zhu. Each entry delves into various aspects of the artist's personal history and their crystallisation into the tangible sculptural assemblages showcased at esea contemporary.

Caption

Dinu Li will be joined on-site by designer Michael Mason (Studio Cheval) and esea contemporary’s Director, Xiaowen Zhu, who is also a contributing author. The panel will collectively explore the distinctive visual narrative of the publication's design and delve into its key themes, such as how Reggae music forges unprecedented cross-cultural kinships, relationships, loves, and communities, as well as how diasporic sentiments can subvert mainstream hegemonic categorizations.

Limited copies of the publication will be available for purchase at esea contemporary.
