Every February, Venice becomes a living theater as residents and tourists alike take to the canals and streets in fabulous costumes for one of the major events of the year. The tradition of wearing a mask to hide your identity and allow you to misbehave with impunity is ancient, but only in Venice is the tradition kept so alive today.
Indossando maschere e costumi era possibile celare totalmente la propria identità e si annullava in questo modo ogni forma di appartenenza personale a classi sociali, sesso, religione. Ognuno poteva stabilire atteggiamenti e comportamenti in base ai nuovi costumi ed alle mutate sembianze. Per questo motivo, il saluto che risuonava di continuo nell’atto di incrociare unnuovo "personaggio" era semplicemente Buongiorno signora maschera.La partecipazione gioiosa e in incognito a questo rito di travestimento collettivo era, ed è tuttora, l’essenza stessa del Carnevale. Un periodo spensierato di liberazione dalle proprie abitudini quotidiane e da tutti i pregiudizi e maldicenze, anche nei propri confronti. Si faceva tutti parte di un grande palcoscenico mascherato, in cui attori e spettatori si fondevano in un unico ed immenso corteo di figure e colori.Con l’usanza sempre più diffusa dei travestimenti per il Carnevale, a Venezia nacque dal nulla e si sviluppò gradualmente un vero e proprio commercio di maschere e costumi. A partire dal 1271, vi sono notizie di produzione di maschere, scuole e tecniche per la loro realizzazione.
Venetian masks are a centuries-old tradition of Venice, Italy. Worn during the Carnevale (the Carnival of Venice, elsewhere known as Mardi Gras), they come in all different colors and they can be full-face masks or eye masks. Many designs are taken from Commedia dell'arte.
Near the end of the Republic, the wearing of masks in daily life was severely restricted. By the 18th century, it was limited only to about three months from December 26. It was gradually shortened into the week-long festivities that now comprise the Carnevale
In the film Eyes Wide Shut, Venetian masks feature prominently in the secret society's rituals. The store that supplied the masks was Il Canovaccio in Venice, which has on display the original mask worn in the film by actor Tom Cruise.
One of the more distinctive masks is that of the plague doctor.
The Hannya mask, with its horns and sharp fangs, is probably the best known of all Noh masks. This character was once a beautiful woman who fell in love with a priest. Her unrequited love causes her to turn into a monster who expresses the fury of a woman overwhelmed by jealousy and anger.
This was such a fun sister shoot - one not being aware of where she was going until she got there - these two are amazing friends, sisters, and are capable of having as much fun as two people can have.

There is a flea market type shop in Milano, Texas that is just chuck full of Mexican wares. This clay mask was one thing that caught my eye there, but there's all sorts of other interesting things that caught my eye as well.
An attractive lapel badge or dress brooch made in silver and hallmarked by the Edinburgh assay office with the 1939 year mark.
The badge shows the golden death-mask from Tutankhamen's tomb that was discovered in 1922, undisturbed and complete with his burial treasure. The hieroglyphics are valid but was unable to make any sense of their order.
Howard Carter (1874-1939) headed the excavation team that recovered Tutankhamen’s treasure. Tutankhamen was a minor boy king and his tomb was mainly intact when it was discovered. Yet the treasures found within were astounding and hint at what other treasures had been plundered from other pharaoh tombs over the thousands of years.

“Folia de Reis” (Folly of the Kings) was the name of a celebration brought to Brazil by African slaves in the 18th century and was a secular version of the Bible story of the three kings, or Magi. “Folia de Reis” runs from December 24 to January 6 (the Day of the Kings) and continues throughout Brazil to this day.

masker Egungun (Herkomst: Nigeria)
Met een Egungun, een masker, presenteren de voorouders van de Yoruba zich op de herdenkingsfeesten die ter ere van hen worden gehouden. Om hen naar die feesten toe te lokken worden de Egungun van de allermooiste stoffen gemaakt. Al dansen ze graag rond met hun nakomelingen, mensen aanraken vinden Egungun uit den boze. Wie dat toch doet, kan geen kinderen maken of krijgen.
They work splendidly!
ughhh, though, I did get a bit of it on the back of the camera as I took some other photos. >_<
Chris, like myself, was soooo down to do a facial mask with Lauren. Michael [not pictured], however, didn't want to risk his masculinity. [:
I watched this mask being carved by a Mayan Indian when I was visiting Chitzen Itza last November. I could have bought finished masks, which were beautiful, but as soon as I saw them being made, I knew I wanted to mosaic one.
I really love the style and skill in these handmade masks. The one with the snakes is from Sri Lanka and the bat and cyclops are from Indonesia.
Masks required on all public transit.
I had a close encounter while going after this photo. I was standing a fair distance away with a big zoom, focused on the gates with this splash of light. Suddenly there was a man filling my frame. He was VERY unhappy that I was taking photos of him. (I was not.) Many swear words and aggressive language but no physical contact. Eventually I convinced him that I was taking photos of this gate and could not care less about him. He settled off to one side, and made somewhat apologetic statements about the misunderstanding. But then he walked away and his final words were "And don't take any FUCKING more photos of me".

Lenga, Hualpen
Su historia es narrada como una mujer que vaga entre luz y oscuridad. Señalando que su alma batalla a diario entre dos lados opuestos. Es parte del miedo y no hay expresiones simbólicas en su rostro que acerquen alguna conclusión final de quien es. Los árboles de su milenario bosque fueron cortados y enumerados extrañamente; ahora ella sólo se esconde del mundo con dolor y sobredosis de soledad...

Greenlandic masks are known primarily in an East Greenlandic context which can be described as a genuine mask culture. Only a few examples of masks can be found in West Greenland and here the artistic expression is totally different.
Not much is known about the role of masks in traditional societies and not many masks exist prior to the turn of the century. The reason may lie in the mask`s strong personal link with its owner. Masks have often followed their owners to the grave or perhaps been destroyed at death. Another theory is that the mask`s power was so great that it had to be destroyed after use in a cult context.
East Greenlandic masks are often destribed as dancing masks to be used in connection with different kinds of ceremonies or lamp extinguishing games. Theatrical masks were used for entertainment and house masks, which were smaller than the others, represented a domestic spirit and protected the home and its members.

Venetian masks are a centuries-old tradition of Venice, Italy. The masks are typically worn during the Carnevale (Carnival of Venice), but have been used on many other occasions in the past, usually as a device for hiding the wearer's identity and social status. The mask would permit the wearer to act more freely in cases where he or she wanted to interact with other members of the society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention. It was thus useful for a variety of purposes, some of them illicit or criminal, others just personal, such as romantic encounters.
Venetian masks are characterised by their ornate design, featuring bright colours such as gold or silver and the use of complex decorations in the baroque style. Many designs of Venetian masks stem from Commedia dell'arte. They can be full-face masks (e.g. the bauta) or eye masks (e.g. the Columbina)
