The final curtain falls

The final curtain falls! From everyday life we know the feeling of wearing a certain mask. Under the theme of Queerness, we discussing the question of who am I and who do I want to be. It is about approaching one's own self-image. We will use staged photography and stage  people in a photo studio in the style of a classical portrait. We will also use costumes and accessories to give our ideas a personal expression.
