Madame Pickwick

Everything comes in “twos” for evil there is good, for light there is shadow, for wet there is dry, and so on and so forth. In the event of a birth, When a human life enters our world, There is sometimes the occasion of two humans being born at the same time. This is the phenomenon of twins. most of the time it’ll end up being two brothers or a brother and sister with no particular common traits. And sometimes you get identical twins, looking the same, sometimes dressing the same, and having the same DNA. So basically a back-up copy one for the other.

South-African born, Berlin based Photographer/Videographer Candice Breitz addresses the question of “Who are we?” with her new multipart work titled: “Factum”.All about this question that immediately causes confusion with most people. Because when you think about it, the answer can’t be, we’re human beings, because that doesn’t really mean anything.What is a human being? Why are we more important than the tree across the street? Why this, why that. a load of questions that make you tilt your head and go” Huh?” Twins are important. Or at least they will be when we discover their philosophical meaning in our lives. Maybe like Stevey-Ray Vaughan’s rythm section,  Appropriately called Double Trouble. Stevey would be nothing without them. Iget freaked out by twins that are exactly the same. I see those often, they get the same haircuts, wear the same clothes, and just confuse the hell out of you. I would think they’d want to look at least slightly different so people could tell them apart and save them the frustration. Like in that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito, “Twins”. The two of them played twins in that. Arnold is huge, bulky and has an accent, Devito is Short, Balding, and looks like he might give you a pair of concrete shoes and send you to sleep with the fishes. At least you can tell them apart. No Life secret there.
