    Would you let me take your picture? Your answer is likely to be “no!”

     

    What if you take your own picture, posing with a mask? You could actually pick your favourite mask out of three made from my face. Would you feel more comfortable?

     

    While we are obsessed with “selfies”, most of us do not like having our picture taken. Understandably, posing with somebody else’s identity (face) was easier for these people in Los Angeles, California.

     

    After choosing one out three identical masks, they decided what to do with it and where to place it. A self-portrait and a performance for the camera was not so hard anymore.

    • ABOUT FELIX OSSA ▼

      Felix Ossa was born in Medellín, Colombia. When he was 21 years old, he migrated to London, in the United Kingdom, where he became a citizen and lived for almost 10 years. He is currently living in Los Angeles,

      in the United States of America.

       

      Felix's works (performance-like), focus on identity and social perception of popular issues.

      His collaborations and self-portraiture include photography, video, installation, and iBooks.

       

      These works are based on personal awareness and the news on the television and social media. They have been constructed, in some cases, expanding from previous works or with the use of appropriated media, told again and orchestrated thanks to the collaboration of many people.
