"The balaclava does not only hide the wearer’s face – it specifically shows up that disguise in the most modernist fashion. "
" It is also a response to a term used by many digital artists at the
moment, “walking is publishing”, meaning wherever a person is and
whatever they are doing, cameras may well be watching."
