Mask Project Final

We were assigned a group mask project. The whole class were divided into 2 groups. and here is our final outcome of MASK~


An experimental video which redefine the term, Mask contextually which is more towards 
abstract and in an expressive and impressional way.The way how we conform ourselves into the social, the way we have to hide our true selves and 'FAKE ourselves' But not all of us will hide our true selves to blend into the social,there's always an odd one who tries to be themselves to blend into social. It is very scary that the everyone's inner has an evil and deception in it. BLACK SHIRT IS THOSE WHO WORE MASK AND CONFORM WITH THE SOCIAL WHILE THE WHITE SHIRT IS THE ODD ONE. TRY TO THINK. Mask is not only a piece of plastic, wood or and so ever that can be wore on face. Well,it can be behavior or anything. So enjoy this piece of artwork cum video.

Mask Project Research

Mask, an object that existed about 9000 years ago as a usage to wear on face typically for protection, disguise, performance or entertainment. The use of masks in ritual or ceremonies is a very ancient human practice across the world. Some masks also were designed for decorative and some were used in drama therapy or psychotherapy.


Masks nowadays mostly were used as a disguise or entertainment but what is the main purpose of mask? Mask were mainly used to hide our feelings, expressions and motives. Mask is not necessary an object, everyone is wearing mask everyday. When we go to work or school, mostly people will look sad as they had wore a sad face mask because they feel bored, lazy or tiring. Then they will look happy when the work or school time ends and the face look totally different just like changed to another mask already.
