The mask gives us the opportunity to experience a different identity for a certain time, without exposing our faces, thus our real identities. It shadows our consciousness of having a body and therefore our perception of reality. The identity in virtual space is also masked; virtual/ cyber identities function like a mask by offering unknown, undefinable and anonymous new identities.
Born to be wild offers the visitor a tiger mask to put on which lets him/ her enter in a virtual world. In this new reality, the video image of the real space/ exhibition space overlaps various representations of wild nature. While the visitor turns into the user, the boundaries of the real space/ exhibition space are reshaped and redefined through the virtual reality. >>
