Twins has become one of Aperture's best selling titles, and has quickly cemented the reputation of Mary Ellen Mark as an acutely perceptive and insightful photographer. This project was created in tandem with Martin Bell's documentary film Twins. The DVD of the film and the book are now being offered together for the first time ever and are only available at Aperture online. Only a limited number of this first-edition book/ DVD package have been produced. Mary Ellen Mark, voted by the readers of American Photo as the most influential woman photographer of all time, has made some of America's most iconic images in a career spanning more than three decades. In Twins, her fourteenth publication, Mark turns her acute eye and her heart to the extraordinary bond that exists between these very special siblings.
About the DVD:
This film was made in the summer of 2002 when my wife, Mary Ellen Mark, was completing the photography for her new book on Twins.Mary Ellen's studio was a tent, pitched on a volleyball court, at the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. When Mary Ellen had finished photographing a set of twins we took them behind the backdrop to a small studio, where we had two cameras and a sound recorder, and there we asked each set of twins twenty questions. This film is constructed from their answers.—Martin Bell
