Naamiot : Vaihtuvia identiteettejä antiikista nykytaiteeseen = Masks : Multiple Identities from Antiquity to Contemporary Art
135: Parvs, 2024. 1st Edition. Hardcover. This book explores the significance of masks throughout human history. From prehistoric times, people have felt the need to temporarily conceal or completely transform their identities. The cultural and historical meanings of masking have varied across different periods and regions, yet it remains relevant today as we constantly reshape our identities, especially on digital platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic also reminded us that masks have long been used for protection. The book traces the theme of masks from antiquity and 20th-century avant-garde art to contemporary works, and is edited by Italian art historian Lorella Scacco.
