Martin Schoeller - Identical
2013 January
Late last year Martin Schoeller released his third published book, Identical Twins. Below is an intro to the book, where we feature some of our favourite images and a link to a BBC interview with Matin in his studio.
Long a source of fascination, twins have often been a theme of myth and legend. The founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus is one of the many instances that spring to mind. Even when separated at birth, identical twins can have uncannily similar tastes, habits, and life experiences. In this landmark photographic study, Martin Schoeller uses his distinctive close-up portrait style to examine sets of identical twins and multiples. In capturing every subtle aspect of their facial structure, myriad similarities and seemingly miniscule—yet significant —differences are revealed, leaving one to ponder how appearance and identity is defined in individuals.
To see work from Martin's other published books including his Close Up series and Female Body Builders check out the Bloc site.
