Candice Breitz focused on Robert Rauchenberg's work for her current exhibition. The theme was about twins and their ties with each other. Robert placed an ad on Craigslist to interview them and ended up putting their photos on matching monitors that were sitting right beside each other. He interviewed them each separately asking them almost the same questions. After both interviews, he altered their words and discussions in a way that would bring out the similarities and differences between the two of them. He did this with other sets of twins also.
In my opinion, I think the idea of researching more about twins is good. However, altering conversations to make things seem like something they are not is wrong and misleading. Twins are people and should be treated like everyone else. There is no harm in showing more interest in them as long as it is done in an appropriate and fair way.
