...visionary, the young performer lives modestly. He shares a three-bedroom apartment in Sao Paulo with his mother, his sister, his collection of 4,000 vinyl LPs and his three favorite guitars (a Gibson B.B.

Besides her apartment in the West Village neighborhood, she has a work space in Chelsea, a two-bedroom apartment where her assistant and an electronica dance duo named Matmos live. (Matmos' latest album, A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure, contains sounds sampled during plastic surgery.) Down the street from the Chelsea apartment, the Matthew Marks gallery is showing Bjork's upcoming video, five minutes of multicolored, multitextured gloopy stuff running from her eyes into her nostrils and back out her eyes.

Rebecca Unguez isn't feeling nostalgic: her nest will be full for years to come. Along with the twins, she and her husband Gustavo have two boys, ages eight and two. While their shared bedroom is due for a makeover, the girls are enjoying the new order down the hall. "Let's be honest," says Rebecca. "Gabriela and Nicole are 5 1/2.
