930 Vol. 01: Concealed Identity

A mask is a covering for all or part of the face, worn as a disguise, or to amuse or frighten others. Or a covering worn over the mouth and nose in order to reduce the transmission of infectious agents, or to prevent the inhalation of pollutants and other harmful substances. This book explores the full breadth of these two statements and presents the power of the mask to conceal the identity of person wearing it.

779 images of people wearing masks sourced over 5 years [2017.08.032022.07.20] from trawling the abyss of the internet. The design of Concealed Identity references Hans-Peter Feldmanns Voyeur artist books, through collecting and cataloging every image of masks in Coghlans vast image sourcing. The proportions of the book are a 140% increase of the dimensions to Voyeur.
