Definitive version 3 masks Miray







1

This mask is made as an outcome of the feelings I have in this period of my life. Feeling isolated, alone sometimes, missing social contact, people, doing my things. 

When wearing the mask, the face is not visible but you also can’t see through the mask itself. I tried to portrait the situation with this. 

With the photo series I wanted to show this feeling I have. Being stuck and wanting to move, go out. Live.

With this mask I got inspiration from trying and working with the different materials, that’s a combination of things I found and had in my house. 

The mask shows for me also a mask that you can find in a kind of folk culture, or maybe a combination of different ones, or a new invented one. I tried to continue that feeling it gave me by making the photo’s and editing them in different backgrounds, which is giving me a feeling of a new kind of world/community. The different backgrounds are giving also more depth to the pictures, which I like.

With this mask I wanted to make something with the thought a mask is giving me in the first place when I think about the definition of it. 

That first thought I had, when thinking about the function of a mask or what people want to do with it is hiding your face. Hiding your face, showing something that you not are or not wanting to show your real self. But, the face people show with a mask is never real. 

With this thought I wanted to create a new face, a face that’s not realistic, or can never be real. 

I used different layers of material. The first layer is bubble wrap, which also gives a strange sound to the mask when the person that’s wearing it moves.

  Mask 1. The first mask, the one we talked most about, the curtain-like thing, is still at school. I have not had the chance to make more elaborate photos with it yet. I n short, I wanted a waving surface in front of the face, in the shape of the line that goes from one ear, over the nose, to the other ear.      Mask 2. For this mask I asked people to write down what they were confident about in themselves. I used these ‘confidences’   in a short movie, creating (or un-creating) a mask. I came up with this because I liked the idea of the ego as a sort of mask and asked myself what would be left when we are stripped of our ego. Because our positive self-image - the things we are confident about - is closely related to our ego, I thought this would be a less abstract representation of it. As more        and more of the stickers are ripped off, more of the ego dissolves and more of the real person is revealed. If t...

carelabel 2 Benaiah

the big P: for this label, I carefully read the instructions and documented the garment as it is supposed to be washed, strictly other purple clothing, in the washing machine, during the wash, left it to dry & eventually wearing it(not such a good foto). I took all the pictures with the flash, after doing some testshots, this is how the colour came out best, and made the care label readable! my goal with the pictures was to visualise the written instructions by only putting purple laundry with each other.   PHOTO EDIT  I liked this picture, because of the inside of the machine, and the clothes laying there with the care label explaining what's going on WASHING WASHING WASHING WASHING finished! dry the purple clothing. . dry and clean in the clothing closet!
