We often use "the weather is hot enough to fry poached eggs directly on the asphalt" to describe the hot weather. The installation art "Eggs Fall from the Sky" previously launched by Dutch artist Henk Hofstra in Santiago, the capital of Chile, is a big example. Playing with the poached egg trick, I "fried" poached eggs in Plaza Italia near the Torre Entel telecommunications tower in the center of San Diego.
This is a work prepared by Hofstra for the famous Hecho en Casa urban art festival. There are a dozen poached eggs scattered in the Italia Square, covering an area of ??about 144 square meters. Each poached egg is about 3 meters wide and 1.5 meters wide. Meters high, when viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a frying pan filled with poached eggs forever in a breakfast restaurant. Visitors are welcome to lean on the poached eggs or climb on the egg yolks and feel the sun frying them together with the poached eggs. ”. The purpose of this art festival is to boost Chilean cultural tourism, emphasize the artistry of urban areas, and break the monotony of urban life.
Hofstra likes to find inspiration from daily life and creates creations around the world, such as the famous "The Blue Road", hoping to create another urban river in the center of Drachten, the Netherlands. "Eggs Fall from the Sky" has also been exhibited in well-known tourist attractions such as Byron Bay in Australia. It has also been exhibited in Santiago, Chile, together with 3D paintings and other works created by German artist Edgar Müller. Next time, everyone will fry poached eggs at home. Don’t forget the “poached eggs falling from the sky”!
