The Tanzmasken of Lavinia Schulz and Walter Holdt (ca. 1924)
Schulz and Holdt made these costumes for dancing; they performed under the name Die Maskentänzer (The Mask Dancers). The outfits are more sculpture than clothing, and they entirely swallow up the wearer. Some suggest a mongrel collision of characters — a buggy-eyed insect meets a jester meets a bearded tomato — and others allude to zippy motion, with eyeballs cartoonishly pulling off the face. Wires poke out and wooden blocks dangle, a bridge seesaws from shoulder to shoulder. Many of the geometric silhouettes defy anatomy; hands, feet, and heads are all boxed in, with no apparent exit.
The story doesn’t stop there. Schulz and Holdt were insane.

Sliced Caravelle
CARBON COPY is a sculpture by Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett, installed in the Brewery District of Edmonton, Canada, in 2018. The lights of the 1988 Plymouth Caravelle glow, and a laser in the front seat scans the pavement every 20 seconds.
“CARBON COPY transforms an unremarkable suburban car into an illuminated obelisk, a monument to North America’s car-centric culture.”
