Designer Diddo has come up with a line of designer gas masks. A somewhat cynical statement, I suppose. Of this collection, he says, “We are in a state of perpetual war–with ourselves and with the ecosystem that sustains us. In the present context, this fear stems from our extreme desire for authenticity and manifests itself in our collectively insatiable culture of consumption. Deep down, we are afraid we may never be satisfied. An expanding archive of branded myths and icons feeds this fear. Designer Gas Masks is an attempt to visualize this state of mind. Because it is only by first acknowledging and then challenging fear that we will all be able to breathe a little easier.”
