Trade Review
"Spanning modernism this book affords a refreshed lens on masquerade as character play, embodiment and theatricality. A timely argument for amplified attention to disguise, bodyscapes and performative aspects of the image in this chaotic and unpredictable world." -Kim Snepvangers, University of New South Wales, Sydney: Art & Design
