French performance artist Abraham Poincheval is showing his unique art again. This time, he is attempting to incubate chicken eggs, which could take 21-26 days, at the Palais de Tokyo Museum in Paris. Can he hatch a chicken? /CFP Photo

44-year-old Abraham Poincheval will mimic a mother hen by incubating 10 eggs with his own body heat inside a glass vivarium until they hatch. "I will, broadly speaking, become a chicken." Abraham said. /CFP Photo

So what could've inspired this latest feat? "When he was kid, Abraham had a little hen, while the other children have a duck or a cat. He spent a lot of time taking care of them," Abraham’s father said. /CFP Photo

Before that, Abraham had spent a week inside a massive boulder, which was just big enough for him to sit in, starting on February 22. There was also a niche where he kept supplies like water, soup, and dried meat. He also spent two weeks living inside a hollowed-out bear sculpture in Paris's Museum of Hunting and Nature in April 2014, eating worms and beetles to mirror a bear's diet. /CFP Photo
