About work

Every day we meet thousands of people and most of the time they are wearing a sort of “mask”, and we don’t just mean their faces. The uniformity in fashion only makes it worse. This action took place in Hády Quarry and the people were presented as completely anonymous, with the same expression. The only distinguishing features were sex and age, ie. as women, men and children.
