Statement:
‘The Idea
was to Disguise Oneself’ is a series of images that explore of the mask as a
means of assuming an alternate identity. The photographic self-portraits reveal
the transformative nature of wearing a mask, and how this affects the way the
wearer relates to, and appears within public space. The thirty-four backlit
images intend to raise questions around representation of self in the public
sphere, the transparent nature of the print stock further emphasises the opaque layers we cloak our true selves in when presenting
ourselves to others.
