Tilda Swinton would prefer to keep her mask off.
It’s unclear whether Swinton wore a mask on set while shooting the film, which follows Torres, an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador who winds up assisting an erratic art world outcast played by Swinton. Either way, she seems to have had a wonderful time shooting the project. “I love him. I always loved him,” said Swinton of Torres at SXSW, according to“It’s such a thrill to call him comrade. He’s next level.
While she’s a big fan of Torres, Swinton seems less enamored with other artists of his generation. “There is a belief that when you make a film, or write a story, that all the focus is on you as an individual. The spotlight is on you,” she said, according to“One thing that I can attest to, that I am actually a real poster child of, is staying collective. You don’t have to get separated from your kin and your herd.
Despite being quite a unique performer herself, Swinton seems wary of this thrust toward individualism, reportedly describing it as a “new virus” that tends to infect younger people. Her cohort, says Swinton, has “more respect for and investment in collective action. But now I do feel that there is pressure on fine artists to cut ties, grow big balls and be a narcissist. And that might put a lot of people off.
