Douglas & Michael Starn
New Jersey (USA), 1961
Identical twins, they have been working together since they were thirteen years old. In 1985 they first received critical attention for their ripped photographs giving the photograph a painterly and even sculptural physicality. "The only way for the creative mind to function is through anarchy [... ] Photography, as a rule, has too many rules."(cit.) They have been combining traditionally different disciplines such as photography, sculpture and architecture ever since.
