SILENCE SURFACE

Who are we? Who do we want to be? What face do we show? Our everyday face? Our mask? Do we show our pain under the mask? Thousands, millions of selfies circulate in the social networks. Do they bring us closer to each other? Do we get to know us better? Or is everything just fake? In her digitally edited portraits "SOME ARE MORE ALIKE THAN OTHERS Marianne Mettler raises the question of the credibility of self-expression. How do we see each other?  How do we want to be seen? The face is our facade that we carry. But which face do we show? Is it a mask or is it real? The photographic selfie is an integral part of our self-portrayal and is nothing more than a mask to hide reality.
