FACTUM.To produce the series of works collectively titled FACTUM (2010), Candice Breitz conducted intensive interviews with seven pairs of identical twins and a single set of identical triplets in and around Toronto during the summer of 2009, footage from which she then edited seven dual-channel video installations (and one tri-channel video installation). Like Robert Rauschenberg's near-identical paintings FACTUM I and FACTUM II (both 1957), from which the series borrows its title, each interviewee in FACTUM is an imperfect facsimile of their twin: their apparent identicality is soon disrupted by a host of subtle differences.FACTUM KANG, FACTUM TREMBLAY, FACTUM MISERICORDIA, FACTUM TANG, FACTUM McNAMARA. posted by shakespeherian (11 comments total)

I haven't had time to watch more than a snippet of any of them, but as a parent of identical twins... this is amazing. Thanks for posting. posted by togdon at 7:42 AM on August 16, 2010

Potentially interesting, but her cuttings are so nerve wracking and distracting that I couldn't keep watching more than a couple of minutes. posted by semmi at 9:32 AM on August 16, 2010
This is very cool, but I was disappointed that it wasn't this Kang. posted by GuyZero at 10:39 AM on August 16, 2010
