The Popoponzi scheme, which takes its name from its creator, is a scam system with which banks get a number of eggs delivered by some investors, promising very high returns that do not actually exist. The hen who invented this scam was caught and put in jail. Once out, despite her ruined reputation, she opened a bank; no one trusted her. She then decided to call it "first local bank". It had existed for a short time, but when they read that it was the "first bank" and that it had local roots, without verifying in the least if it was true, everyone began to deposit their eggs there. They were scammed again and now who knows where the Popoponzi hen escaped with the loot. Checking the news is important.

In the occasion of Artissima, the most international Italian art fair, OFF Giannoni & Santoni presents the most domestic project possible: a series of dazzling and quirky hen coops envisioned by Vedovamazzei and developed in collaboration with the world’s most “philosophical” egg producer, Paolo Parisi. There are twenty of them, and each one is a unique, handmade and unrepeatable piece of art. The hallmark of our chicken coops is the same as Vedovamazzei’s: irony. But it's a cultured, sophisticated irony, not just for the sake of it (sometimes, even melancholic). Each work sends significant messages from its very form, designed by Vedovamazzei to resemble a modern appliance, suggesting that, just like a fridge or a dishwasher, each of us should have a hen coop at home, whether on the terrace or in the backyard, in order to have fresh eggs every morning. In a world where intensive farming is rampant, we wanted to create the ideal living environment for hens, a sort of luxury villa. The key feature of a good hen coop is to let the hens feel secure, which is why they are all closable: this extraordinary and complex animal needs to be indoors at night to feel protected, just like us. So, enjoy yourself; you can decide whether to walk among the hens or choose to observe them from the outside, but is important to do it with respect and without disturbing them. And don’t ask yourself what they are because it can’t be said whether they are hen coops becoming pieces of art or pieces of art becoming hen coops. It’s like asking: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
