Twins
“Twins” (working title), is a series of black and white film photographs documenting 20 sets of twins of varying ages (11-18yrs old), ethnicities and backgrounds from the local board area.
The series of black and white photographs will portray a cross-section of kids and teenagers from the neighbourhoods of Henderson, Ranui, Glendene and Massey. The candid photographs seek to document and immortalise ordinary West Aucklanders lives’ in a strikingly beautiful way, through the theme of twins, both identical and fraternal. At the conclusion of the exhibition/s, the prints will be gifted to the families of the twins in each photograph.
This is a two part project where by we are contributing to the production of the photographs with the children and families involved, before supporting Anna to develop it as an exhibition.
