Marco Martins proposes in WILD a reflection on the use of the mask in ritualistic practices that, since time immemorial, collectively mark crucial moments in Europe, such as the equinoxes and solstices, integrating characters such as the Wild Man, the Bear, the Goat or the Devil.
We are increasingly a society of masks that hide behind a virtual world. What is the current meaning of mask? How can living with the sanitary mask transform each person's activity, activism and identity? We live in a daily life full of avatars, caricatures, memes, applications that allow you to transform the face and body and various types of filters capable of blurring the line between faces and masks. Based on the investigation of the ancestral meaning of the mask, WILD will map its value as an identity possibility, as well as the complexity inherent to the multiplication and intersection of identities.
