Mary Ellen Mark will discuss her two projects on view Twins and Falkland Road: Prostitutes of Bombay. During August of 2001 and 2002, Mark set up an elaborate portable studio tent on a volley ball court during the annual Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio and employed a Polaroid 20 x 24 view camera to capture in extraordinary detail the minute similarities and differences between sets of twins. After ten years of attempting to photograph in Falkland Road, a congested quarter of Bombay, India marked by prostitution and desperate poverty, in 1978 Mark began to slowly gain acceptance among the prostitutes and for the next thirteen months documented the intimate details of their everyday lives.
