RE: Documenta 14: The Masks of Beau Dick - Die Masken von Beau Dick [English/Deutsch]

in #art7 years ago

Initially after seeing first images my thought was would love to do some sort of fashion shoot with model wearing these masks. But further I've read the more i understood that such a simple thing as a mask might actually have such a deep underlying history of events and importance to some people as a part of their culture. Nevertheless i would love to do a photoshoot of a naked human body wearing just a mask, that would symbolic expression of being naked under masks that we are wearing each day. Nice read, thank you for putting this up. Cheers

You're welcome! I can easily imagine this masks worn by a nude person. That really would look amazing. But I also I agree with what you said about respecting the tradition of the underlying culture. Nevertheless I'm looking forward to seeing some masked nudes ;-)

In that case i need to get a mask that is not related to any sensitive cultural tradition :) maybe we could do a project, some steemian makes a mask, sends it to me, i do the photoshoot, and everybody else makes an interpretation with their art styles that they are good at. And let's say some clickbait title "Who's behind the mask of the Bitcoin" lol and we can sell all the artwork for steem later on and donate it to some good cause :)

I'd fully support such a project! Not sure, if I'm able to create cool masks like this, but I'm pretty sure Steemit has got the creative potential for such an collaboration :-)

I am too much of a minnow to pull this off i believe, but once i get bigger and understand how all of this works better i will certainly try to initiate something like this :)

Yeah, get back to me when you're ready. I fully support the idea :-)

Agreed :)
