Maja Daniels: Monette and Mady
“Monette and Mady are identical twins. They have lived their whole life closely together and are, as they say, inseparable.”
“I used to see them on the streets near my house now and then but mainly on Sundays at the local fruit and vegetable market. I was instantly fascinated by their identical outfits and synchronized corporal language. When I finally approached them I was not surprised to discover that they often finish each other’s sentences and that they refer to themselves as I instead of we.”
“Neither Mady nor Monette are married or have children. They live their lives closely together and they have created an image as one. “If we ever go out dressed in different outfits people will come up to us wondering why we are arguing. Perhaps it has become even more important for them to see us dressed identically than it is for us..”
“These are the first few pictures of an ongoing project.”
