Eva and Adele


Different from those artists that involve their work in plastic surgery, couple, Eva and Adele take an approach that is less under the knife. Rather than getting cut open and transformed to look like each other, Eva and Adele use make-up, clothing, and accessories to appear as twins. After looking over some pictures, I feel as if this approach works somewhat better than the plastic surgery approach because they still remain a human physique rather than a barbie doll. After reading about Eva and Adele, I find the most interesting aspect about them to be that they have never and will never reveal their real names or age. I think that this is a very special characteristic about the couple because once you know the name or age of someone, your perception of that person may be skewed forever. They may call themselves Eva and Adele, but say their real names were Bob and Joe. Would you think about them differently? I know I would look at them and probably see a Bob and a Joe, average middle-aged guys dressing up as women, rather than their special alter-egos that they desire to embody.
