"il concetto con l'acquario"

a 4000 gallon cylindrical aquarium [containing a light, somewhat transparent automotive engine oil] sits in a vacant space. the artist breaks 3600 eggs, one by one, and places each into the aquarium so as not to break the yolk. the aquarium is sealed. the shells are washed, and left on the floor surrounding the aquarium. the temperature of the contents of the aquarium is raised by one degree farenheit each day for 30 days. on the 31st day, the temperature of the contents of the aquarium is briefly raised by an additional 98 degrees farenheit. the entire process is video documented.
