“We put on masks on a daily basis. Sometimes, ironically, we believe that the masks are who we really are. We are afraid that if we take off the masks, there would be nothing but emptiness.”

Evasive Maneuver : Strolling Away is a short-film in which the narrative is carried by a figure on a mask; the mask represents their identity that is often marginalized by social norms, in this case, gender diverse and an immigrant.

This is also an autobiographical narrative of the collective duo themselves. The film was directed in Bremen near the artists’ flat, a home where they should feel themselves at most;

however the figure chooses to wear a mask and their gestures seem somewhat tense. The use of image modification, filming, 3D animation and face painting has its metaphoric implication and is delivered to portray the psychological state of a marginalized individual focused on their suppressed identity in relation to spatiality.
