It's a long yesterday

One or to bodies; six at most.
It’s a long yesterday is an exercise on desire, fracture and multiplication.

​

For this project we are driven by the personal and intimate purpose of working on our condition of twin sisters - and what that means for us - as a research tool to reflect on the potentiality of an imprecise and multiple body. Therefore, we start from a concept that is always present in our biographical universe – resemblance. A dubious concept in itself, since what is similar is neither the same nor different, but is placed in an intermediate space between the two opposites. Resemblance is nothing more than a space of indefiniteness, of anonymity, and for that very reason it is an open space to multiple senses and meanings. "It’s a long yesterday” is located in that intermediate place: between the same and the different, between the one and the multiple, between a gesture of love and a gesture of hate.
