Adele & Eva: 'We invented our own sex"
THE GUARDIAN
By Helen Pidd
GERMANY - They are a living artwork who claim to have come from the future in a time machine. Is Britain ready for Eva and Adele? Helen Pidd spends a day with Berlin's oddest couple. They are always on show. "Wherever we are is museum," runs one of the Austro-German couple's Denglish catchphrases. EVA & ADELE (they insist on the ampersand and capitals) might not actually be part of the exhibition in question, but it doesn't matter. Completely bald, made up like macaws, and dressed like surrealist pantomime dames, the duo sweep through openings, stealing the limelight with their extra-terrestrial looks and otherworldly frocks. "I'm neither a man nor a woman," [Eva] explains. "Neither is Adele. We've invented our own sex." [link]
