Show and hide, open and protect, associate and dissociate—opposites and transitions determine the essence of masks. The interest in ritual masks marks the starting point of this project. At the centre of the visual exploration are three modern masks whose different details are depicted on both sides (outside and inside). The publication illustrates the phenomenon of the mask: making visible and recognizing that the mask can be based on cultural as well as on social norms and values within a social system or under individual circumstances. Immerse yourself in the mask and discover that many different facets may emerge. A wealth of new aspects—a new wealth. In the figurative sense, an individual experience can take place regarding the everyday “masks” and “disguises” in the interpersonal realm.
