Veit-Lup is well-known for his amusing ways of using basic foods for purposes other than originally intended. Following a psychoanalytic digression, and with the help of a few carrots, he devotes himself to something once loved but which now has fallen into the category of unwholesome - the chicken egg. Of course, this time edibility isn't what counts the most: At a banquet Columbus demonstrated how suprisingly simple it was to make an egg stand on its head - an allegory for the artist that served as a direct attack on the many "civilization-oriented" pursuits of the last five-hundred years: The egg of the world as the egg of Columbus!
