"The egg cannot stay perfect and whole if you want more of anything. For life to happen, you need unrest, dismay, disorder. Then you spend the rest of your life trying to get it back in order, a kind of forced revision to your original origin story".

Nicole Wallker

A Chanting Egg, Near the Dent, contemplates the conditions that enable life, its initiation and sustanence: hosting, slowness, dormancy, close attention and care, disruption, unrest, and transformation. As the camera closely follows the journeys of various eggs, two simultaneous choreographies unfold: eggs follow the contours of the space, are digested, placed on receptacles, and caressed; their shells are broken, crashed, and tumbled in infinite loops.
