“The Faceless Behind the Mask” is an exhibition that explores the liminal space of a world increasingly void of definable humanity. It peers into the fragile performance of the self, questioning every entity that wears a mask to imitate the human—including the adopted persona, the virtual avatar, the artificial intelligence, and the human who is demonized or dehumanized due to social norms.
Rooted in the ancient ritual of Halloween—where costumes were worn not only to become monsters but to trick unseen spirits by camouflaging among them—the exhibition examines the dual nature of the mask as both disguise and shield. This primordial urge to transform, to evade, or to deceive now permeates our digital and psychological landscapes: the uncanny artifice of deepfakes, the alien sprawl of AI slop, and the pervasive unease of mental fracture. Here, the mask is no longer worn for a single night—it has become a perpetual condition.
