歷時21天 法國藝術家終於孵出小雞!

French artist Abraham Poincheval, who famously spent a week inside a rock and two weeks inside a bear sculpture, has succeeded in hatching chicken eggs after incubating them for some three weeks.

曾因在一個石頭裏呆了一個星期、在一個熊雕裏住了兩個星期而聞名的法國藝術家亞伯拉罕·伯安什瓦爾，在花了三個星期的時間之後，終於將雞蛋孵化出了小雞。

Poincheval embarked on his latest project in late March of imitating a mother hen by incubating some 10 eggs with his own body heat inside a glass vivarium at Paris' Palais de Tokyo contemporary art museum.

三月底，伯安什瓦爾發起了這個項目，在巴黎東京宮博物館的一個全玻璃封閉的容器裏，他模仿一隻母雞，用自己的體溫去孵10多個雞蛋。

At the time, he estimated it wouldtake 21-26 days for the eggs to hatch.

當時，他估計孵出小雞需要21到26天。

A spokeswoman for the museum said nine had hatched and the chicks were on their way to a farm.

該博物館的一位發言人稱，此次共有9只小雞孵出來了，正在送往農場。

For the endeavor, Poincheval sat on a chair, wrapped in an insulating blanket, over a container with the eggs.

爲了完成這件事，伯安什瓦爾把自己裹在了一個絕緣毯子裏，坐在一個椅子上，下面是放着放有雞蛋的容器。

He could leave his seat for no more than 30 minutes a day for meals.

他每天只有在就餐時纔會離開位子，前後不超過30分鐘。
