Maja Daniels – “Monette & Mady”

May 22, 2014

Monette-&-Mady

This photographic project is by Maja Daniels, a Swedish photographer based in London. I came across it on Booooooom this morning and I wanted to share it with you guys, because not only are the photos of these twins really beautiful, the story is interesting too.

This project reminds me of a post I did a while ago about identical twins Maurine and Noreene a story about artist Roz Leibowitz who bought a snapshot collection on eBay under the tag “TX Twin Sisters Dress Alike for 88 Years Photo Lot 100+. She paid $21.25 for the set and they have become an internet sensation. If you like this post, you’ll like Maurine and Noreene too. 

– Monette and Mady are identical twins. They have lived their whole life closely together and are, as they say, inseparable. I first saw them on the streets of Paris and I was instantly fascinated by their identical outfits and synchronized corporal language. Quirky and beautiful, they stood out from any crowd. As I couldn’t quite believe my eyes, I remember thinking that they might not be real.

When I approached them I was not surprised to discover that they often finish each other’s sentences and that they refer to themselves as « I » instead of « we ».

Neither Mady nor Monette have married or had children and they always eat the same kind of food in identical portions.
They do not just share a close relationship as sisters; as a couple they act, model and dance together and the city of Paris is their main stage.
