Identical twins are the most perfect clones, more perfect than could be created artificially. This is the exact opposite of what should be happening - they have the same gene, anatomy and minds. Dr Teplica also carries out scientific research on twins into similarities in secondary skin characteristics, such as exactly where a wrinkle appears or which eye-brow hair turns grey first. Dr Teplica believes his obsession with twins may come from his own birth - he was one of twins, but his sibling miscarried in the fourth month of pregnancy. Identical Twins in Focus is on show at the Wellcome Trust's Two10 Gallery, London from 22 July to 24 September 1999.
