Mabel Masks definitive version



I am mask      

the first idea for this mask was to shoot the pictures in a supermarket.
something wasn't right with it so i looked for a better setting.

I came up with this idea thinking about the emptiness of school these days.
I wanted to recreate the sense of being lost and loneliness that people are experiencing now that everyone's routine drastically changed and everything that seemed so solid and structured 
collapsed.

Here you can see a student who did the error of identify 
herself with an institution.
She's waiting for her friends to come back, she's lonely.
She doesn't want to leave  
                  


                                      She has a present waiting for you.

 




BIO PLASTIC 
       MASK




 I'll create a membrane not to spoil your breath

          I'll help you hiding among 
my plants
     
And grow new leaves

When the fever is gonna be too high I'll cool you down in a bath of ice




















 The material used for this mask is a mixture of glicerine                                                                        algae  (agar agar) and water, it's soluble and really versatile

       He likes to be whatched
                     and to play hide and seek.
      He wishes to become like sand one day.

  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...

the label I created for the shirt: How well does the garment perform when undergoing certain activities? what is its strenghts, and its liabilities? Or just more engagement between wearer and maker?

Score: 2/5 Reason: Good food, had to eat alone due to the current situation. the garment ate pretty decent, but not fancy enough when dining. ------------------------------------------------------------------...
