Eva & Adele's art revolves around their lifelong, global public performances that explore identity and collaboration. Central to their work is the interactive process called CUM (Latin for 'with'), first showcased in a 1997 solo exhibition at the Sprengel Museum. The artists engage co-performers by incorporating Polaroid portraits and signatures taken by the public into their evolving series of drawings and paintings. This bilingual edition compiles the comprehensive CUM project, enhanced by insightful essays from Robert Fleck, Lisa Schmidt-Herzog, and Marcus Steinweg.

Eva & Adele's work finds its raison d'être in their permanent, lifelong performance which takes place worldwide throughout the public space.

The work group CUM (lat. WITH) is the essence of the interactive process. It was acknowledged as early as 1997 in the Sprengel Museum with the solo exhibition CUM, and is continued to this day in a variety of media.

Eva & Adele requested one of two Polaroids taken by the public—co-performers—including a signature. Based on this, they created a group of important drawings and paintings, which they developed in the subsequent artistic process and have continued until today.

The publication forms the work complex CUM in its entirety; the volume is completed by valuable text contributions by Robert Fleck, Lisa Schmidt-Herzog, and Marcus Steinweg.
