“I’ve always had eggs in my work. It started with TWO FRIED EGGS AND A KEBAB back in the early nineties, which was the piece of work that launched me on the world. Since then I’ve tried to keep an egg in things, in most exhibitions. Eggs are relevant to women …and they are finite. They are not like sperm, you can’t just endlessly wank and spurt them everywhere. So it’s kind of about futility, not just women’s futility, futility in the world”  Sarah Lucas.

Palazzo Pesaro Papafava where these screenings will be shown, is also home to the Casanova Museum & Experience.

Main feature : THE EGG FILM
