The works in Disguise: Masks and Global African Art are organized around the idea that masquerade is
The works in Disguise: Masks and Global African Art are organized around the idea that masquerade is always an art of becoming.Jakob Dwight offers novel ways to think about the limits of what masks are, and can be. In The Autonomous Prism series, mask forms are reflected and refracted through a digital process derived from a video glitch. Dwight takes us to the limits of the masquerade genre, becoming entirely new but also offering testament to the enduring creative agency of masquerades.Posted by Kevin D.
