The "Twins" Project by Hungarian Photographer János Štekovich (13 photos) photo)

Photographer Janos Stekovics, who moved to Germany, created a collection of portraits of unusual twin farmers. In 1980, he visited the village where the 63-year-old Lukás brothers lived to photograph them.





The twins Janos and Istvan lived in the Hungarian Puszta region and, during their sedentary life in the village, accumulated many identical items: two bicycles, two traditional shepherd's outfits, two saddles, identical clothing—they liked to emphasize their similarity in this way and, undoubtedly, mislead their fellow villagers.

They both lived their lives in a house located 5 kilometers from a busy road, in a nearly inaccessible area. They didn't smoke or drink alcohol, but they cared for their pets and garden, which provided them with everything they needed. A well stood near the house, and this was their source of water. The house had no sewer, running water, or electricity. The twins liked their way of life; everything suited them.





















The photographs were published in the book “Die Junggesellen”.
