This piece of paper is signed by the artists (main illustration); 3) Two meticulously crafted 'doppelganger' ventriloquist dummies, hand built by the artists using traditional techniques; 4) Two framed self portraits of the artists with the dummies, mimicking 'British music hall' entertainment and in a slapstick, melodramatic, grotesque style; 5) A video in which the 2 dummies speak to the viewer in short fragmented sentences about their needs and wants, which is a development from the previous work.
