portrait systems

Faces (25-26)

A merged face wall: the Faces set and the former Portraits set in one room.

The archive does not separate face from role. Every face is already a mask, witness, joke, or pressure system.

A quick exhibition joining Faces (X) with the renamed Faces portraits. Faces (Peco) stays in The Sun too; repeats are allowed here.
