THIS IS NOT A MASK by Maja Smrekar

120,00€

To celebrate the launch of our online shop, we invited Golden Nica Award winner Maja Smrekar to design a work that speaks to our difficult and trying times. This mask can either be framed as the artwork that it is, or it can also be worn, as it incorporates a Repsilon nano-filter, one of the most efficient in the market.

The artist was inspired by a bread mould called Neurospora Crassa to design this pattern. While mutations can enable species to adapt, natural selection will always reduce the modification rate so as to not harm the organism. The Neurospora crassa, however, has remarkably evolved to be capable of mutating its own DNA as a way of fighting off virus-like infections. This mask aims to inspire us to be the exception to the rule.

Each edition is limited to 100, and will be accompanied by a signed letter of authenticity from the artist. Proceeds from sales will be destined to fund our project Roots & Seeds. Biodiversity Crisis and Plant Resistance, co-funded by the European Union.
