A collection of Bertjan Pot's Ropemasks and Gloves, made from 2010 to 2022. Bertjan Pot's most well known product is probably the Random Light (1999), but the masks he makes out of colourful rope have also drawn attention. Dutch designer Bertjan Pot and fellow designer Vladi Rapaport discovered a technique for stitching together lengths of coloured rope to create attention-grabbing face masks. Although they look like tribal masks, seemingly full of meaning and individual narratives, Pot reveals that the faces result from a less-than-successful attempt at making rugs. Both the Random Light and the masks started as material research - the starting point of each work - with the outcome usually being an interior product showing a fascination for techniques, structures, patterns and colours.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
