Carole Itter x Taki Bluesinger, Raw Egg Costume, 1974

How do you like your eggs in the morning? Well, Canadian artist Carole Itter and Japanese photographer Taki Bluesinger like theirs raw, giant and all-encompassing. Chickens, eggs and nests are a persistent theme in Itter’s work, which spans collage, sculpture, writing and performance. Her obsession began when she rented a cabin on a poultry farm in Robert’s Creek, British Columbia in the early ’70s. Thereafter, she and Bluesinger created and captured many chicken-themed performances, featuring this spectacularly sticky looking costume.
