17 Mai Masks – Damian Ortega
Mexican artist Damián Ortega has constructed one hundred masks from everyday materials. Made from bottle caps, bits of string, tortillas, pumpkin skins, cactus leaves and coins, this strange gang of characters has a distinctly Mexican aesthetic. Whether it is the use of local Mexican materials or the resemblance to the masks of Los Luchadores, the Mexican wrestlers, this paranormal masquerade will put a smile upon your face.
