Despite being identical twins, Joel-Peter—world famous photographer, and his brother Jerome—a realist painter and educator, could not be more different. Witkin & Witkin explores the brothers’ divergent art practices and complex relationship as they reach a crossroads in their lives.
As it is often the case in Trisha Ziff’s work, Witkin & Witkin is as much a love letter to artists as it is to art itself. Exploring the story of these two brothers that turned into masters in their fields as they grew apart, the film is an intimate portrait of family and the artistic process.
