Masks are synonymous with kink, they allow the wearer to stretch and push dynamics, to have freedom to explore their sexuality in public spaces without the fear of being recognised. Wearing one commits the wearer to the fabric, to an alter ego, even an imagined character projected onto them by the viewer, the mask creates a boundary between “real life” and performance. They are worn to stand out, to disappear, to feel powerful, to feel helpless, to escape. Every occupier has reasoning behind their choice to present anonymously, estranged from their given aesthetic, and each mask has a story to tell.
