Ceci n’est pas un masque is a performance about the mundane abstraction of reality. Fashion, fiction and function are the triumvirate articulating this experiment.
Ceci n’est pas un masque interrogates what facts and perceptions mean to each other when the collective is reduced to an unsettling intimacy. 
How to feel when defining our impossible commitment to the future between the economic crisis, lockdowns, never-ending conspiracies and a cathartic vaccine?

Ceci n’est pas un masque also affirms “this is my face, this me, this us”. 
We still have our humanity, and maybe some dignity.

We do accept, day after day, a psychic filter on our screens to fabricate a reality for others. We also accept to ignore the voiceless, the faceless until this state is brought to our visages. 
Can you imagine not being heard, not being seen, not being touched, not for a period, but for life, because of a system? There is nothing to imagine, this is what the defenceless are experiencing daily. Will you see them when you will not need a mask anymore?
Wearing a mask is not amoral, but conscientiously erasing faces and sounds of people who do not succeed to comply with the dominant aesthetic is.

Ceci n’est pas un masque is a performance about an already disconnected civilisation who doesn’t assume choices made a decade ago. 
The collective circulation of empathy has drastically changed through the digital revolution/programmation. The bodies know that we are not in control for a long time, being motionless serves as a necessary reminder. 
The period creates a time and space to accept and reflect what we gave up and are trying to regain, blaming a pandemic instead of our ordinary desertion.

Ceci n’est pas un masque is an ode to surrealism when data realism defines and designs a eugenic social body. No tongue, no teeth, no lips and the rest around, aesthetic convention aside, what is mankind about?
Ceci n’est pas un masque is an attempt of sensitivity through the automated empathy existing in the flatness of our screens.

The screen is our mask. The mask is hiding a secret. Be careful it could reveal itself through your eyes.
