 (e.) Twin Gabriel
«Universal Deserters»

Baghildis Gompf, Geisselolt Blodig, Heppo Steppuhn, Modest Immekeppel – just some of the 3,000 names that (e.) Twin Gabriel generated from authentic (but old-fashioned) forenames and surnames. 12 of them have computer-generated faces, two names (Modest Immekeppel and Heppo Steppuhn) even possess ID which from time to time are placed in wallets and left lying about in exhibitions (running under the title ‘Universal Deserters'). Conscientious visitors hand in the apparently mislaid items. Mentally accompanying the wallet and ID document is an owner whose persona is thought about by the finder of the lost property. Stories arise around the fictional figure.
