Poppo & Engel

In 2012, photographer Gea Schenk met the twins Poppo and Engel (1927). The brothers have always been together. After a life of hard work on the farm near Wagenborgen in Groningen, they move to a sheltered home in the village at the age of 82. Schenk follows them there for over two years. The result is an intimate visual story about strength and vulnerability, fraternization and connection.

A selection can be seen in the basement of the Noorderlicht Photogallery from 17 October to 22 November.
