"Majestic and beautiful looking twins, natives of Ishokun, Let me find means of eating, let me find means of drinking. Majestic and beautiful looking twins, come and give me the blessing of a child." According to Yoruba legend, the ibeji--united and inseparable twins--were sent into the world by monkeys, whose knowledge of nature's secrets surpasses that of men. Regarded as sacred, they are venerated in a cult based on statuettes, the ere ibeji, which are commissioned from master sculptors by the families of the deceased twins. The eighty works from Benin and Nigeria presented in this book reflect the incredible stylistic diversity and beauty of these silent symbols of an age-old tradition--an eloquent expression of the creative potential of African art.

Land of Ibeji' is the joint work of two photographers. Bénédicte Kurzen and Sanne De Wilde took first prize in the World Press Photo Contest Portrait category with this project. In the book they explore the myth of twinhood in Ibeji, Nigeria. For the Yoruba people, 'double birth' and 'the inseparable two' represent the ultimate harmony between two people. Four times more twins are born in West Africa than in the rest of the world. The centre of this 'twin zone' is Igbo-Ora, a sleepy town in south-west Nigeria.00Using a subtle visual narrative approach, the two photographers broaden their view by using symmetry and likeness to represent twins as mythological figures and as a powerful metaphor for the duality within each of us and the duality we experience in the world around us. To further bring out the magical and supernatural invisible aspect, the two photographers use two-colour filters for certain images. This amplifies the duality of two photographers, two individuals, and two identities. It reveals two differently coloured perceptions. Twins are the object of great fascination around the world. Although many stories and myths about twinhood have faded away or been forgotten, the theme appears in Biblical and other stories, in philosophical texts and even in science. Examples include the Gemini constellation with the stars Castor and Pollux, Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, or Plato, who believed in the duality of human nature.

Die Yoruba in Nigeria betrachten die Geburt von Zwillingen als einen besonderen Segen. Wegen der hohen Sterblichkeitsrate sind Yoruba-Mütter aber häufig mit dem Tod eines Kindes konfrontiert. Die Yoruba glauben, dass die Zwillinge gemeinsam nur eine einzige Seele haben. Beim Ableben eines Zwillings wäre der überlebende Zwilling lebensunfähig. Die angefertigte Ibeji-Statue für den verstorbenen Zwillingsteil kann somit die andere halbe Seele enthalten. Darüber hinaus ist die Linie zwischen Leben und Tod für die Yoruba nicht absolut. Es gibt für sie ein enges Wechselspiel zwischen der spirituellen und der materiellen Welt. Der Zwillingskult zählt zu den ältesten Kulten der Menschheit. The Yoruba people of Nigeria consider the birth of twins a special blessing. Due to the high mortality rate of twins, Yoruba mothers are often confronted with a childs death. The twins are believed to share only one soul. When a twin dies, the surviving twin would be unable to live. The Ibeji sculpture for the deceased twin can thus contain the other half of the soul. Yorubas do not draw a strict line between life and death. To them there is a close interaction between the spiritual and the material world. The Twin Cult is one of the oldest known cults of mankind.

The Adventures of Ibeji Twins' has been written by Bisilola Allen and her 11 year old daughter Arami Allen. Bisilola was born as a twin to an American mother and a Nigerian father. Originating from the Yoruba Tribe of the Nigerian Culture on the paternal side, she had a strong desire to tell the world about her experiences and real life stories. She wanted to write about the Yoruba twins, their travel journeys and the rich cultural heritage of the tribe. The story revolves around the two twin characters called Kehinde and Taiwo, who live in Nigeria and have the opportunity to visit their aunt Bisi, in USA. Narrating interesting, adventurous and exciting stories of their trips to New York, Florida and California, the book also helps the readers learn about the amazing places they can visit in the land of opportunities. The excerpts of the book have been inspired from the real life trips taken by her daughter and the co-author Arami Allen. The two love traveling, while learning about new places and different cultures. Although this is her first book, it reflects her passion for writing, zeal for story-telling and ability to keep the readers engaged in her delightful words.
