Transformation Mask

2022

We are delighted to work on this magnificent transformation mask from the Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac museum.
The study aims to conceptualize an exhibition device that allows for conservation and exhibition to happen.

We are working in collaboration with members of the museum team such as Eleonor Kissel, as well as with the team at Summum 3D for their three-dimensional scan of the mask.
