For centuries, philosophers, logicians and just lovers of chat have argued about which came before: an egg or a chicken. And, since no truth is born from these disputes, the artists took up the solution to this issue. For example, the well-known to us Kyle Bean, who created an installation called "What Came First?" ("What came first?")
American Kyle Bean is the kind of person whose arms are growing out of the right place. And the person who literally succeeds in everything, no matter what he undertakes. Therefore, people all over the world know his illustrations (he worked for the New York Times), animation (videos for the BBC) and all kinds of installations that are completely different from one another.
We've already covered the delightful paper crafts created by Kyle Bean. And this time we want to talk about his creation, which is deeper in terms of meaning. In it, Kyle decided to sort out the eternal dispute about the primacy of the egg and the chicken. Moreover, Bean did it in his characteristic creative manner - with the help of an installation with a fair amount of humor.
This installation is called "What Came First?" and is a chicken made entirely from eggshells. These shells, in order to give them the shape of a progenitor, are glued together. And, I must say, in the photographs of this creation by Kyle Bean, you do not immediately understand that this is not a real chicken.
Of course, Kyle Bean's installation What Came First? does not give an exhaustive and understandable answer to the question asked. But she puts an end to it, showing the impossibility of separating the essence of the chicken and the egg among themselves and, therefore, the impossibility of solving the most famous dilemma in the world.

On September 29, 1650, the world's first marriage agency appeared in London, and in 1695 the first marriage announcements appeared in the collection How to Improve the Economy and Trade.
