Claiming to have come from the future in Berlin (after the fall of the great wall) thanks to a time machine, Eva and Adele are an art couple that claim to be themselves a work of art. Both being completely bald, wearing bright-colored and surreal dresses and outfits and having the same type of makeup, they say that "Wherever we are is museum" and "We are an artwork". However, that have always made sure to look exactly the same as each other as well as eating the same food. Neither of them tell anyone their real names and ages, yet many claim that they are in their 50's. They have been married 22 years, and, even though Eva is a man, they express their marriage as two women. Eva managed to have her sex legally changed without having to actually change her body. They are always together and must always be prepared and with all the necessary makeup in order to receive any kind of guest or visit.
Besides being art themselves, they are known for their performance shows, self-portraits and more. One of their works is the MEDIAPLASTIC series, in which they integrate pictures of themselves obtained from newspapers and other forms of media to make drawings and paintings.
They also utilize video clips of themselves in their work. In addition, they work on a project called CUM, in which they use pictures taken from other people to show how others see the couple. Since they love to be taken pictures of, they give the photographers postcards with their address so that they can send them a copy of the picture in return of the permission. They receive numerous photos from many countries and apply them to their art projects and works. Eva and Adele also work extensively with self-portraits. On these drawings, they focus on self-awareness, taking photos and videos of themselves. They take pictures every day, changing positions and gestures to use them in their self-portraits, creating a "diary" called Closed Up (Integrating another called Self- Timer Photography. In addition to the types of works previously mentioned, the couple also create biographic sculptures.
Although expensive, their works of art are amazing to witness as well as the creators themselves, who are truly themselves a living work of art.
Some of their works:
^ We can see how Adele and Eva express that they come from the future. ^
^ We can see more of Adele and Eva's artwork. ^
Good night!
Sincerely,
Michelle
