CARINE & ELISABETH KRECKÉ

About us
We are a Luxembourg-based twin sisters working as artists and authors, with an interdisciplinary background spanning art, literature, economics, and a shared interest in geopolitics. Our work explores themes such as mass surveillance, war, violence, and terrorism. Using forensic investigation methods—like open-source intelligence (OSINT) and geospatial analysis—we question, repurpose, and sometimes hijack these tools in documentary projects that blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, truth and lies, past and present, and even between author and protagonist.
Our investigations often unfold over several years, involving the creation of vast and intricate archives (cartographic datas, social media content...). To translate technical data into the aesthetic realm, we draw on a wide range of media, from visual arts (photography, film, drawing, installation) to literature (novels, travelogues, plays, poetry).
Our conceptual and visual projects have been presented at leading international exhibitions.
