TWINS CORPORATED is the collaborative work of identical twins clara and julia von schantz (always more than one but also always one.)
the duo formed in 2016, to explore topics regarding individuality and identity from the perspective of an identical twinship.
through research-based and performative approaches, they examine the twin from a personal, popular cultural, and medical perspective,
and how this, in turn, affects the subjectivity of the twin and their sense of self.
one such example is how twins are systematically mistaken for someone else, which contradicts the capitalistic Western imperative for constant individualization.
clara and julia are active in curatorial work at various independent self-organized artist run initiatives,
such as affair, Berlin [DE] and R, Stockholm [SE].
both hold a BFA as a result of joint studies at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts and Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Vienna
and an MA in Artistic Research at the Dutch Art Institute, ArtEZ University of the Arts.
