A fragile addition to our investigation on twins in contemporary art. Flowers attached on parallel strings. Leading to and embedded in mirrored blocks of concrete.

2. Kelley Walker, Andy Warhol and Sonny Liston Fly Braniff (2006)
3. Yoan Capote, Migrant (2010)
4. Jonathan Schipper, To Dust (2009)

We cordially invite you to the Twin Art Project. The pairing of the seemingly identical as a poetic, post-pop act. Duplication as an ironic critique towards mass production becomes the cipher for alienation and solitude. Duplication today means subtraction.

3. Unknown
4. Teenage Wasteland by Ben Weller for Dansk
5. DSquared Spring/Summer 2011 by Mert & Marcus

A Short History Of Twins In Popular Culture II

1. Comme des Garçons
2. Issey Miyake
3. Carla Bruni & Kate Moss
4. Pamela Anderson, her twin boobs & Vivienne Westwood
5. Twin Towers
6. Jose & Juan Areco, Brian & Travis Davenport by Thom Browne, Dean & Dan Caten
7. “Chanel Liquidated” by Zevs

There is a striking yet explosive resemblance between the Vivienne Westwood SS09 campaign image and the photographic documentation of the 9/11 incident. I'm not gonna compare Pamela's boobs with planes now... Anyway, what's your favourite twin?

Steven Tyler vs. Anna Dello Russo

Maybe it is already common knowledge that these two personas are the mirror images of one another. Leaopard-wearing twins seperated after birth. By the way: Has anybody seen ADR modelling for Emanuel Ungaro?
