Caucasian human caviar
Inside the glass jar of Chrissy CaviarŪ, of the Human, Caucasian variety, there is, instead of fish roe, one of Chrissy Conant's eggs. Combined with human tubal fluid, each egg is anaerobically sealed inside the same sort of biology specimen research and transport tube that scientists use for mouse and human eggs and/or embryos. Each filled tube is suspended in a clear, viscous silicone-based liquid, inside each jar, and sealed.
The artist's hope is that her eggs, as a concept, will surpass Beluga caviar as the current ultimate in luxury, consumable items. In the context of fine art, using my genes as a commodity, I am making art with my body, by collaborating with technology. And I am trying to manifest, and be productive with, my highly emotional desires to find Mr. Right, and create a family together.
