this unsettling art project titled ‘hide and seek’ by french artist frederique daubal is a series of cut out pages from fashion magazines, sliced into fringes and made into masks resembling muslim niqābs. it is a statement on identity, transformation and what it means to be french today.
daubal is currently seeking for a gallery space to exhibit the photographs. for contact information, see her website here.
the largest exhibition dedicated to the artist in france is now on view at the grand palais in paris, bringing together large-scale installations, sculptures, photographs, drawings, performance videos and archive documents.
