Assembly presents a limited collection of 10 photographic NFTs from Rodrigo Valenzuela's series "Masks." These self-portraits made in Valenzuela's studio, recreate profiles of protesters in Santiago, Chile wearing makeshift gas masks constructed from discarded soda cans and bleach bottles. Inspired by Pablo Neruda’s epic Canto General, this series, like most of Valenzuela's work, straddles documentary and fiction—his own biography and that of other Latin American people. In these portraits, the protestors become more than defiant agitators. They are architects of a new universe.
