Hats off and hats up!
Multiple images and disguises. How do we present ourselves to the world?
A hat preserves 40% of our body heat. Clearly a hat does not save one's life, as shoes do.
The hat is worn for formal or proper occasions. It alone does not create any specific behavior.
At least four very different heads and only one with a hat on. The other hats are suspended or shelved above. Each head and each hat raises questions.
Who are these people?
How did they come to gather?
Why?
Again, Bak’s ability to render textures so they are real and yet is this scene real?
