Prachtige litho van Koen Vanmechelen, met als titel "The Walking Egg". Het werk is met de hand gesigneerd door de kunstenaar en eveneens gestempeld met "The Walking Egg Project - 2007 - Arusha". The Walking Egg project was born in Genk in 1997, in a meeting between Koen Vanmechelen and Willem Ombelet, a fertility specialist. The meeting took place in the context of an international congress on fertility and infertility. One of the results of that cross-fertilisation between art and fertility science was The Walking Egg Magazine, a periodical in which science, art and philosophy fertilise each other. The Walking Egg received its name from the eponymous artwork that Vanmechelen made for the congress. It’s a egg-on-legs, walking about on the lookout for the right temperature and the right place to be hatched.
