Masque/Contre-masque
consists of a series of six images, self portraits. The technique used is
direct photography with minimum computer intervention. For me the mask is,
first of all, the theatricality archetype. The stage seems to have lost its
real meaning and to have moved even in the most private places of our lives.
Each work consists in two kinds of masks: one that imitates the cagoule type of
mask (terrorism, military intervention), and the other which is the reverse,
covers only the eyes (superheroes). The two types of masks complete each other
and, if it were to join them we would get a complete mask that does not leave
room to recognize the authentic traits of the individual who wears it. The
problems highlighted are the effect of consumerism, media, and the
depersonalization. The project is completed with the video having the same
title.
