2.5D Mask

Outline

Paper craft masks that can be made by downloading open-source patterns from the Internet and printed on a regular A4 printer. By wearing the mask, one becomes “a nobody” or “a nobody character”, and images of people wearing these masks can be shared publicly on the Internet. These images, which capture the act of wearing masks that resemble animation characters, evoke a “2.5-dimensional” world that exists between two- and three-dimensional space.
