PAFX / Silicone Prosthetic / Character Makeup

FACELESS

Context

FACELESS is a silicone character created for “TRANSLATE” by ONE OR EIGHT, in collaboration with production house ANTIANTIART and performer Quân Phạm.

Creative intention

The design removes the eyes, nose and mouth, transforming the face into a sealed surface. Without recognizable features, the character becomes an anonymous presence—human in form, yet impossible to read.

Role of PAFX

PAFX Studio created the silicone character piece and applied it to performer Quân Phạm for filming.
