Title: The Hidden Face

Name : Dr. ANAND JAISWAL Kurukshetra
Country :India
Concept :The Hidden Face" is a performance art video designed to explore the themes of
identity, concealment, and self-expression. This visual narrative delves into the
dichotomy between our public personas and private selves. Using a blend of gesture
and posture, symbolic masks, and evocative movements, the video unveils the
complexities of human emotions and social facades. Each segment captures the
struggle between revealing and hiding one's true identity, prompting viewers to reflect
on their own hidden aspects. Through a dynamic and rhythmic interplay of different
visual elements and time, "The Hidden Face" challenges and engages audiences,
inviting them to confront the masks they wear in their everyday lives.
