QuickTime VR panorama
2001

Another digital collage making use of several 3d renderings. This time, the body, rather than the face, play the role of mask. The skins we have and wear and how we choose to shape, adorn and present them to the world, can be seen as a guise, a mask. In wardmask, we see a wardrobe of discarded body masks, awaiting a wearer.

The presentation of the final image as a simple QuickTime VR panorama provides the viewer with a dynamic image, allowing one to interact with it and to read the stories... the viewer is immersed, never able to see the full picture... not unlike the suspense one must have felt when unrolling a Chinese or Egyptian scroll.
