In an artists’ statement they said that “even if lonely one of us creates some of the projects and works, we usually sign them together. We are not just an artist, we are a movement.” Both artists were born in Moscow, but emigrated to Israel in 1977 and bearing in mind to New York in 1978. The pair’s co-authorship of works ceased in 2003–2004.
