Masked Identity In Color / Colored Identity In Mask
The depths of systemic racial discrimination ensured, without anyone having to move a finger that the populations that have been traditionally discriminated against, suffer more during the Covid pandemic.
A mask is usually associated with anonymity. Yet, it could not hide the existing prejudices and equalize the people in that assumed anonymity. In this performance, it represents this ironic futility 'of attempting equality through anonymity', in a world where skin color continues to define people.
The artist uses RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color spectrum which gives color to the virtual world on our digital devices, as a reference to all the people in the world, who have been confined into a primary identity that spells ‘color’.
