Overview

Braidwood Library presents an exhibition of photographic works by Frank Lindner.

Masks may be the quintessential genre of psychological expression. Who Am I Really, is a collection of photographs exploring one way in which masks can work to conceal and transform identity, taken at a three-day folk festival. Subjects were asked to mark paper bags and wear them for portraits. They reveal and conceal, a performative identity shift into a liminal state in which the masked performer is neither fully themselves nor completely the character portrayed.
