INSPIRATION

Our exploration of mask making was based on the works presented in the exhibition Third Realm, which was presented from September 4th to November 8th, 2020. Instructions for creating similar projects from home can be found in either of the following four project pages: Making Faces, Making Faces II, Making Faces III and Making Faces IV.

The above image is an installation photograph of the exhibition space, featuring three visitors wearing the masks they created on November 7th, while standing in front of Ghost Mask (2009) by Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Visitors could also use this ‘Seek and Find’ document during their visit, to guide them through a close examination of the works in the exhibition.

STEP 1 : VIEW CONCRETE EXAMPLES AT THE ENTRANCE TABLE AND FIND YOUR MATERIAL KITS WAITING FOR YOU AT YOUR DESIGNATED WORK TABLES

STEP 2 : OPEN YOUR KITS AND START READING THE INSTRUCTIONS TO BEGIN THE CREATIVE PROCESS

PRO TIP: MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE WHILE IN THE SEASPAN PAVILLION

STEP 3 : TRY YOUR MASKS ON FOR SIZE AND ADD EXTRA DETAILS IF NECESSARY
