La Folie à Deux is the title of a series of portraits showing artistduos/couples who produce joint works.
The portraits refer to the peculiarity of artistical practice within creative partnerships:
to their intense dialogue and interaction as well as to the relational side which is -
as with all intense relationships - inapproachable from outside.
We consider the concept of the metaportrait as a model to visualize the fusion of
points of view, of ideas and perhaps visions in such collaborations.
Each metaportrait - a 16 step metamorphosis from one partner to the other -
was synthisized from the photographs we made of artists from all over Europe.
The arrangement of the sequence suggests an interpersonal field,
a field of tension between symbiosis and individual self-assertion.
Furthermore the metamorphosis becomes here a metaphor of the complexity of identity
(self is self, self is someone else as well)
