Masks - ritual objects that underline, hide or change identity
of its wearer. They were most often used to protect oneself or to interact with what transcended oneself - forces of nature, spirits, demons or gods. Their origins lie in ancient history, and although their purpose and form have shifted and changed in meaning over time, they remain a part of people's everyday lives today. The exhibition Ma_scary combines the original masks of natural peoples with those found in the work of contemporary visual artists in a single space. In the second plan, it also opens up themes such as tradition, horror or disguise.
