————————

Henk Hofstra is a Dutch visual artist whose work has a strong focus on public art installations. ‘Eggcident’ is an interactive work of giant fried eggs, which more specifically is a critique on global warming and our ever-rapidly heating planet. ‘’We make our planet too hot’’, Hofstra explains, ‘’It's already getting so hot that we no longer need a pan to fry an egg. In many places you can fry an egg on the street or on a square. An egg represents new life, but we are destroying this new vulnerable life due to the overheating of the Earth. That has to stop!’’
