When a monkey is included in a work of art, it's often in the service of a strong affirmation-through-negation of what it means to be human. Untitled (Human Mask) plays with this idea of difference, between humans and monkeys, but also between living and not. Apart from humans, all the species of Hominoidea are edging towards extinction, including the tailless monkey in Untitled (Human Mask). If, in the film, humans are now extinct, would monkeys be rescued from imminent extinction – would other species start to ‘come back’? Would human-built structures, like the restaurant, become the equivalent of archaeological curiosities for these resurgent species?
