"So we declare ourselves to be twins, Symmetrical creatures of a whim of nature, henceforth we shall be the same age, the same height, with the same hair, walking the highways and byways of the world in identical striped clothes with the same bow tied under our chins. People will turn around and look after us, half touched and half scornful, as always happens when something reminds them of the mysteries of their own beginnings." (Man Without Qualities/ Robert Musil)
This text is the voiceover in the last scene of a video work reconstructing the future history of Effie and Amir's eight, out of dozens of, possible children.
The kids, animated characters, whose faces composed from the artists' facial features in the same way police identikits are made, are planted in their parents real world.
Belly to belly the parents lie, head to head fantastic, pseudo-documentary episodes are conceived and vanish, telling the tales of the eight children.
Through comical and touching stories, Effi and Amir deal with their existence and identity as a couple, which work and live in Israel today.
