Where Art meets science. In the Walking Egg Project Koen Vanmechelen plunges himself into the international science world, assisted by fertility specialist Willem Ombelet. At the core of their quest are issues of identity and reproduction with a special focus on (in)fertility in developing countries.

Accompanied by a team of scientists, journalists and thinkers, they try to shed light on the well-being of the infertile family and its problems. This has led to the birth of the quarterly magazine ‘The Walking Egg’ and to innovating art/science projects. Symbol of the project is a small chicken-legged glass egg that is always on the move.
