The exhibition’s mad professor slot is taken by Shachar Freddy Kislev. A giant, liquid-excreting egg is placed inside a smoky transparent showcase. The fluid-covered body is dimly seen through the screen of smoke enclosed by the case’s glass, like laboratory parts that have gone astray and landed in the exhibition space. In an era of chemical and biological intervention in a range of mundane consumer goods, the egg and the primordial liquid enveloping it, slowly dripping downward, emerge as a radicalization of an existing process. The work’s theatrical quality generates a far-fetched mythology for this act, ridiculing it.
