This pair of sculptures in Carrara marble tests the evolution of art in the age of mechanical reproduction, transforming bone, skin and muscle into a finished work of crystalline geometric rigour not dissimilar to the structure of marble itself. The two standing human figures seem to be identical but are not, because of the way they are made – a mixture of drilling and laser-cutting technique by machine, and polishing and adjusting by human hands.
