WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Lithuanian artist duo Terrible Twins (Ruta Pu & Urte Janus) use photography as their tool for creating new experiences rather than capturing a moment. The duo builds sets, designs costumes, and uses make up and styling elements in order to bring their subjects out of their actual identity and into a surreal character. Their work explores various concepts including perceptions of beauty, self identity, contemporary and mass culture, as well as the boundaries between style, sculpture, masquerade and the human body. Their series ‘Nine Circles of Heaven’ has a really unique visual aesthetic to it. Using make up and set design they achieve a very monochromatic graphic style, that one could mistake for actual graphics added in post. Aside from their visual illusions, the series has a conceptual aspect to it that furthers the work even more, ” Nine Circles of Heaven is an exploration of Sin as a concept perpetuated by western Catholic society and aims to question the authority of such doctrines when describing concepts like virtue and sin, good and bad.”

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
