These Brothers Barely Left Their Apartment for 14 Years. This Is the World They Created Inside.

 

"When Martensen first met the Angulos, they were all dressed in leather blazers and black ties—looking much like the protagonists of Reservoir Dogs—and were wearing their hair mostly down to their waistlines. They were quiet and stuck together, but they were also vulnerable and calm in front of his camera. For the next five years, Martensen continued photographing them every few months independent of Moselle. He took them on adventures around the city and beyond, but he also spent time with them in their apartment, where his photos focused on their jackleg home movie studio.

“The goal of the project eventually became about the imaginations of the boys, not about their living situation or their family life, or their backstory. I wanted it to be about the world they created within their minds and how it manifested itself physically through role playing and the creation of their costumes and so on,” he said. "
