City made out of EGGS !!

I wonder if they glued the egge together? The floor is kind of weird. It looks like cartoon characters.

My bet would be that he hardboiled them (so that they would last a bit longer) and then superglued them together. I don't see how else you could do it . . .

If he blew the eggs out like Corey NC suggested, then glued them together, they could theoretically last "forever!"

Well, it's little after 5PM in Guangzhou so I shouldn't feel so tired (just emptied trap of `poss').

the Homestudio site can be read after a fashion by using google's translation service (better than fighting with Babelfish), but AVG objects to the site as it tries to hit one with a trojan and a downloader (but the photos are great). The person who apparently took those shots, `time debris', commented - `translated via google': "The egg ah, perhaps the wish to convey easily broken or squeezing life exchange for economic prosperity.'

The exhibit was:

:The second Guangzhou Triennial, "BEYOND: An Extraordinary Space of Experimentation for Modernization," took place at the Guangdong Museum of Art and the Xinyi International Club, both in Guangzhou, China [Nov. 18, 2005-Jan. 15, 2006]."

The installation:

"Working with the international group RedSky, Weng Fen (a.k.a. Weng Peijun), best known as a photographer, came up with a surprise installation: a sprawling, stylized model of Shanghai made of thousands of glued-together eggshells; when viewed from above, the piece duplicates the face of a 50-yuan note."

Another view (during assembly) by a British Artist who was advising and the like:

(have a glow-in-the-dark `spook' bucket loaded with eggs, and a cat named MaoMau... Now prepared for performance art, i.e., another three hours of sleep with a crowing roo & hen to `close the show ....) see ya'll around: Signed, `yawn in'
