Born in New Jersey in 1961, The Starn Twins Doug and Mike moved to Brooklyn in the 1980s were they worked in the industrial neighborhood Red Hook. They worked with silver gelatin papers and toning and bleaching methods. They then started work on the series Attracted to Light which moved them into the new century and new technology.
They are most well known for their conceptual work with photography. The themes they explore are chaos, interconnection and interdependence, time, and physics. Not only do they work with photography but also sculpture, architecture and site-specific projects.
