Lygia Clark’s interest in researching human interplay and group-dynamic processes also led to her designing various objects applied as a means of discourse and communication. In this case, her «Máscaras sensoriais» or sensual masks led to a sharpening of perception by hindering perception, which sharpened inner perception. Different sensual impressions combined with the differently colored masks caused a variable hindering of sight and hearing, and scent recognition—assorted herbs were deposited in the mask’s elongated nose-piece.
