(Glass House Stores, London 2010)People don’t show their inside naturally in public and they wear mask. Sometimes they want to get rid of mask, sometimes they get confused if they are wearing mask or not in public or in private, and sometimes they get bewildered which mask they need to go for as situation changes. Commercialisation and information technology revolution make this mask issue far reaching. People can utilise commercial product or IT technology to mask themselves perfectly. The purpose of masking is to protect their privacy but this might lead their loneliness. The private soul sometimes scream and would like to tear away the mask, but public ideology and personal habit make them not aware of the mask and they don’t know what is real face, what is mask or how to tear away. They stay at their privacy at home but still might end up with mask on the face…They are lost in public and private, lost in the world of masks.
My second theme for public and private is mask series. Tableau photography fascinates me all the time. I always dream to have a go but am not confident. I selected a few scenes such as public spaces like pub, crowd, arcade, shops and also decide to shoot the final one at a private home garden surrounded by tall office buildings. I choose a white mask prop to exaggerate the cold and silent ambience of the theme. The model is excellent. We shoot in public with pedestrians and everything on site. He just acted as planned sometimes with a little nice impromptu. Generally the shots are good, but as it was shot in public, there were lots of uncontrolled factors. I need to look at the shots several times before making further development.
