Eierlauf, installation, 2006

In the installation, which was experienced through the form of an epic walk – an egg and spoon race was fused with elements of western marriage, burial rituals and queer aesthetics. Visitors were asked to balance a golden egg over a red carpet (a rites of passage), which included the artist’s buried ex-boyfriend dressed in a wedding dress. The egg was then dispersed into a slot, which opened a peephole exposing a lush chamber with a self-indulgent, voluptuous octopus bride, who sucked and spat jelly from a giant jelly chandelier.
