The Mask never lies

The Mask Never Lies takes us on a journey through the political uses of masks in modern society and looks at the politics of how faces are controlled, cultural resistance to identification, the defence of anonymity, the strategies of terror in the act of concealment, and the way in which bad guys, heroes or heroines and dissidents use masks as a symbol of identity.

Structured in seven areas, the catalogue covers diverse but underground interconnected stories: the Ku Klux Klan, Fantomas, Leo Taxil and the Freemasonry, Dadaism, Surrealism, the mexican wrestling mask, masked political activism, the plague and the pandemic, etc.
