Masks is a short video using photomontage that questions the multiplicity of realities and the way we conceal our emotions. The project uses abstraction to allow for interpretation, then gradually reveals the tension between private and public identity.

Plural reality or mask of emotions?

Isn't reality plural when we spend our time hiding our emotions or who we are from others? Masks is a short video that interprets the internal dilemma between what we feel and what we want to express to someone outside of ourselves.

The video appears, at first, very abstract and futuristic because no contextual information is given, the aim being to let the viewer form an interpretation, before revealing its true nature: The plural reality is there between truth and lies, there between our public and intimate identity, at the moment when, out of sympathy, worry or protection, we create a version of ourselves different from what we really are, different from what we feel. The video is made from photo montage.
