EVA & ADELE

EVA & ADELE, the iconic German conceptual artist duo, burst onto the Berlin art scene in 1991 with their groundbreaking performance "Wedding Metropolis". Claiming to have arrived from the future in a time machine, these self-proclaimed hermaphrodite twins transformed their lives into a living, breathing work of art. Always appearing in matching, flamboyant outfits – often pink and decidedly feminine – with shaved heads and exaggerated makeup, they challenge traditional notions of gender and identity. Their central message "OVER THE BOUNDARIES OF GENDER" serves as a life motto and artistic concept, transcending gender norms through their appearance. Their motto, "Wherever we are is museum," encapsulates their 24/7 commitment to their artistic persona. EVA & ADELE's work extends beyond their public appearances, encompassing paintings, sculptures, and videos. Their early collaborations, such as the 7-channel video "HELLAS," symbolise the merging of two individual artists into a singular artistic identity. Despite their extravagant public image, they value their private studio time, balancing their performative art with more traditional artistic practices. Their unique approach to art and life has earned them recognition in museums and collections worldwide, cementing their status as pioneers in the realm of performance art and gender expression.
