Book Synopsis
Here, seeing double is normal. And that is not only because we are dealing with two photographers and their art projects. Sanne de Wilde and Bénédicte Kurzen travelled to Yoruba country in Nigeria, where the rate of twin births is ten times higher than elsewhere—a fact that is either celebrated with mythical fervour or condemned. While tracing this history, the photographers created richly intriguing, intensely colourful portraits of twins. They used their game of doubling to stage an imaginative photographic story, making use of double apertures, double exposures, reflections, and colour filters. With these inventive pictorial processes, the two artists produce magical double portraits. Page after page, this catalogue captures the vibrant, expressive force of this prize-winning series.
