Activity Introduction
“Hey, what brings you here?” is the theme of “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2025”. The Main Exhibition features a unique presentation and a highly interactive experience. To enhance this experience, the Macao Museum of Art (MAM) calls for volunteers for the “Twin Illusions” project. This unique initiative seeks pairs of volunteers who closely resemble each other in appearance to participate in creative performances. Through repetition and the effect of multiplied scenarios, the project will explore the phenomenon of real experiences being replaced by simulations. Eligible volunteer pairs are invited to participate. Selected individuals will receive training and professional guidance and will perform multiple times during the exhibition.
Target participants:
Participants must register as a pair and meet the following requirements:
1. The pair should be of the same gender and have similar appearances and body types; twins are preferred.
2. Must be 18 years of age or older (as of the registration date).
3. Participants must be physically and mentally healthy, with basic physical expression skills, and able to cooperate with performance arrangements.
4. Demonstrate openness to contemporary art forms, willingness to undergo training, and availability for scheduled performances including audience interaction.
5. Being committed to at least two performances on Saturdays and Sundays from mid-July to mid-October.
