The Kipper Kids

Description:

The Kipper Kids was the performance art duo of Martin von Haselberg and Brian Routh. Recognized for their extreme approach to performance, their practice existed at the intersection of slapstick comedy and improvisation, often staging absurdist actions and ceremonies in ad-hoc installations made from found objects.

A black-and-white portrait of Martin von Haselberg and Brian Routh. They are both shirtless, and are wearing shower caps and prosthetic noses and chins. Their faces are painted white with black dots to create the effect of stubble.
