Masks

Amidst quarantines and lockdowns, Damián Ortega (1967, Mexico City, Mexico) hosted a paranormal masquerade. Invited were a philanthropic ogre, a sweet rodent, a freak brother, fertility ghost, giacometti dumpling, acupuncturista, a tango singer, and self employed pig, others too: a strange gang fashioned of bottle caps, tangles of string, tortillas, gourd shells, cactus leaves, and coins-whatever ortega could find around the house. Masks welcomes you to join the ball, gathering one-hundred such disguises alongside essays by Luigi Amara.
