Bukowskis presents Starn Twins at Contemporary Art & Design


Mike & Doug Starn (Starn Twins)

”Untitled, Bodhisattva #1”


Ever since the 1980s, American twin brothers Mike and Doug Starn have explored photography as a medium and tested its limits. Their conceptual pieces often have a photograph as their starting point, which is then transferred to unusual materials such as glass, plastic film, scotch tape, sheet metal or hand-crafted paper. Their images are sometimes created like collages, constructed in several layers and held together with, for example, pins. “We’re trying to show that photography isn’t an image; it’s a three-dimensional object”, they’ve explained. “It can have the same kind of growth and limitations or non-limitations as the other arts.” This innovative exploration of material has, in some ways, become the trademark of the Starn Twins, whether it be sculpture, painting, video or photography. The notion of light remains a theme throughout their practice as both an idea and an expression. The work can be about the way moths are attracted to a flame, the way light sifts through the branches of trees, or about religious enlightenment.
