Twins In Figurative Arts

This project is collateral to "Fragments of Life of Identical Twins" But he develops the theme of the monozygotic twin archetype in other areas. Which art, mythology, history and literature. The photographer got involved in the fascination of mythology. And she brought back "to life" the cult of the Dioscuri, better known in the Latin form of Castor and Pollux. They are described as two young warriors heroes dedicated, one Castor, to breaking horses and the other Pollux, to the art of boxing. The decision to re-propose these two mythical figures in photography was the bond inherent in their nature, on the one hand with the luminous world and on the other with the darkness. It is said that their destiny is fulfilled in the fight with the Apharids other twins, whose promised brides were kidnapped by the Dioscuri. Castor died in the fight and Pollux, according to what Pindar recounts, obtained from his heavenly father not to separate from his dead twi, Deciding to permit them to live together one day underground, in darkness, and the next in the light of Olympus with the Gods. Another couple that has met with much interest and fascination is that of the twins Romulus and Remus linked to the legend of the foundation of Rome. It is said that they were suckled by a she-wolf. Unlike the emotional relationship of Castor and Pollux, the Roman historian Tito Livio tells of them two different versions of the same story. sees Romulus triumph over his brother Remus. Of them remains the macabre memory of the killing of Romulus by his twin. The other archety which analyses Francesca in this project is Twins in all type of Art.
