Using the same lens, lighting and angle, the result is a series of portraits unbound by their contexts. The series contains visuals of both famous and lesser-known subjects, all taken in extreme close-up. Schoeller owes his international acclaim to his iconic Close Up series, on which he has worked ceaselessly for over twenty years. This exhibition of his work at the Nederlands Fotomuseum is the first ever held in the Netherlands.

In this landmark photographic study, Martin Schoeller uses his distinctive close-up portrait style to examine sets of identical twins and multiples. Even when separated at birth, identical twins can have uncannily similar tastes, habits, and life experiences. The founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus is one of the many instances that spring to mind. Long a source of fascination, twins have often been a theme of myth and legend.
