She moves through a market, among fruit, goods, the everyday objects of life. And yet she carries the state of emergency within her. \u003cem\u003eThe pandemic\u003c\/em\u003e intensifies the collective shock of those years in which the everyday—shopping, touching, breathing—became a threat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The spikes, white and numerous, are reminiscent of microscopic images of viruses, of fences and defense mechanisms at the same time. They represent both protective armor and aggression, a symbol of the paradoxical emotions of that time: fear of contagion, longing for closeness, the sudden visibility of others as potential threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Historically, masks and costumes often serve a dual function in crises—they exorcise and banish evil simultaneously. But here, there is no magic, but rather a mirror: the figure reveals a world in which the invisible threat has become visible, monstrous and unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eBonet's series \u003cem\u003eMasqueraden\u003c\/em\u003e takes up these ruptures of our time and translates them into archetypes – the \u003cem\u003epandemic\u003c\/em\u003e body is simultaneously document and mythical creature, warning and souvenir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AI EDITION BERLIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55657606447439,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2826\/3759\/files\/pandemic.jpg?v=1753992247","url":"https:\/\/ai-edition-berlin.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/julien-bonet-minenarbeiter-kopie","provider":"AI - EDITION BERLIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
