Egg yolk brain is an attempt to fulfill the prompts to “look inside yourself,” “find yourself,” and “know yourself.” The video is set in a kitchen, filled with objects that are mass-produced yet can also be sites of personal traces, intimacy, and home. Responding to these abstract, philosophical, and pseudo-spiritual prompts in a variety of ways - intuitively, hungrily, and with humour - the video’s extended tactile exploration invites the chance for the familiar routine of cooking breakfast to become strange and surprising.
