Butz & Fouque is an artistic duo trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Dunkerque. The two artists have worked together since 2003. In their photos, videos, performances and installations, the two young women take place in aesthetically attractive settings, taking symmetrical poses. The ambiguous eroticism of their bodies, double or hybrid, their false twinness, are so many techniques for a mise en abyme of the question of multiple identity, at the heart of their artistic approach.
