Bénédicte Kurzen & Sanne De Wilde: Land of Ibeji

West Africa, and the Yoruba region in particular, has the highest rate of twin births anywhere in the world (ten times more twins than other regions, to be precise). This is the first exhibition of a photography project by Bénédicte Kurzen and Sanne De Wilde documenting the cultural significance of twins in Yoruba society. Starting with the word 'Ibeji', meaning 'the inseparable two', the artists use twins as a metaphor for duality in everything from a single individual to the entire world.
