Pierre Huyghe Players, 2010
LED, brass, hand controller
24 x 16 x 15 cm
The work Players consists of the mask which appears in the film The Host and the Cloud (2009-2010) worn by special extra-diegetic characters. The mask is made from two surfaces with LED lights at an angle that can be fastened to the head as a mask. Wearers can see through small holes at regular intervals, but who looks at them is blinded by the light emitted by the small lamps. Filmed, the masks obscure the face with a bright shield of light.
