An egg, the white is gone but the yellow remains

In the video, we see an African man breaking eggs with a knife, one after another, in a repetitive, obsessive, and monomaniacal act. He repeatedly says out loud, 'An egg, the white is gone but the yellow remains.' The video clearly shows the impossible reconciliation between the colonizer and the colonized. Inside an egg, the white and the yellow coexist harmoniously and naturally, even though they don't have the same texture, color, shape, or smell. But when there is a fracture, a break, or a rupture between them, each follows its own nature. The egg is a prison; it is the symbol of both creativity and fertility, hope and a promise of life, a new birth, and regeneration. With the broken egg, horror takes over. It's the paradox of the egg: on one side, there are broken shells, a shattered life, and on the other, the hope of a return to life and rebirth.

Brothers of the Wind

The way of the eagle is to raise two chicks. The stronger is destined always to throw the weaker from the nest. Man also has his ways, often to hurt those closest to him. Lukas suffers at the hands of a father who has withdrawn since the loss of his wife. Killed whilst rescuing the infant Lukas, the boy now carries the burden of her death. Our eagle’s story begins in the nest. The first-born chick pushes his weaker brother to a certain death on the forest floor. But fate intervenes and the chick is found by Lukas. Naming him Abel, Lukas cares for the creature in secret, finding a love and companionship denied to him at home. But when the day comes to release Abel back into the wild, will Lukas find his own release into a new life?
