STORY
The Mask-Arrayed explores the material, technological, and cultural aspects of the most iconic artifact of the COVID-19 crisis—the face mask. Historians of science, technology, medicine, and the environment and the artist Regina Maria Möller unmask in a collage of essays and visuals the complexity of a seemingly simple object and unveil its many layers and different usages in both material and non-material terms.
