Masquemask Installation

Jaime Hayon comes back to Łódź after his first visit during Łódź Design Festival 2018, when, dazzled by the newly discovered city, he decided to explore its textile traditions. Inspired by Łódź and captivated by the atmosphere of the festival, this one of the most renowned modern designers proposed preparing his new installation right here. During the 13th edition of Łódź Design Festival, the designer, whose works are exhibited in, among others, Groninger Museum, High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Milwaukee Art Museum or Design Museum in London, is going to present for the first time “MASQUEMASK INSTALLATION”.

The Spanish artists decided to put all the masks together, close to one another, in one room. This way, within the space of the exhibition, they can look at a visitor from all sides—each with a different, colourful expression: a vivid smile, multicoloured fear, puzzlement. Some people will find (and rightly so) the sources of inspiration from various cultures, and Mesopotamian, Mexican, Roman and Mediterranean influences. The traces of inspiration which make them unique.
