Identically Different
Pays-Bas
2018Artiste Jury
Yentl and Laura are identical twins. They shared the same uterus, the same amniotic sac, and the same placenta. They are as identical as it gets. While most people look at them as one unique person, Yentl and Laurens have always known how different they were from one another. You can imagine the surprise when Laura decided to assert her true identity and became Laurens. Judith Helmer followed Laurens and Yentl through the process of self-discovery and claim for identity.
This exhibition is part of : Oh ! Pays-Bas : saison culturelle néerlandaise en France 2017-2018
