Joshua and Zachary Sandler are Brooklyn based
artists who come from distinct creative backgrounds – Zachary is trained
in modern drama and performance while Joshua studied photography and
video. As teenagers the two brothers began collaborating on photography
projects as a means to subvert a reality marked by alienating social
constructs and a dysfunctional family. These early works, steeped in
adolescent psychosexual energy, documented the fantasy, inhibition and
intimacy shared between family and close friends.
They now work predominantly in performance-based video. The photographic
sensibilities that permeate their video work, employing techniques
fashioned for stretching out and locking in to highly emotional/visceral
moments, were developed in large part during their adolescent
collaborations.
As adults Joshua and Zachary are interested in examining the line that
is drawn between adolescent and adult behavior and the dysfunction that
often ensues as adults try to hold on to feelings of idealistic hope and
youthful indiscretion. They employ post-dramatic performance style and
highly confrontational documentary/interview techniques with
sometimes-volatile subjects. They facilitate scenarios that attack and
upset the sense of comfort that so often leads to the dishonesty and
denial prevalent in postmodern life.
The Brothers aim to capture a general state of alienation, and the
protective worlds people create in the midst of oppressive or tumultuous
circumstances.

Hello I am from Mexico city and I am trying to find some videos to use them for our theses and I would like to know if you have one that could send us, the main issue it is the ontological fears, like: loneliness, rejection or uncertainty, if your participate as a character of the reflection would be much better but it could be a reflection performed by someone else.
I hope you understand this message my english is not good, please contact me if you or some of your friends have some video with those característics mentioned.
We need the videos before 15th of may, to start analysis. We will show the videos at The Univeridad Autónoma Metropolitana in Mexico, and we are contacting some cultural places to show them as a result of our reserch, that will be around august or september.
Thank you and we hope your participation.
