Yumurtayı Soydum Başucuma Koydum reveals the relationship between mother and child through an eating process, particularly the depiction of mothers’ love and how they repeatedly love their children ‘to bits’, the irresistable feeling of ‘wanting to eat them up’ which is excessively passionate. It refers to cannibalism, the act of human eating the flesh of other human beings. I started to investigate the meaning of egg for living beings because of my last name which may translated as egg seller. I want to discover the root of my family and their story behind this word egg. This investigation led me to work on the notion of affect and motherhood. The power of love appears in the video first by the creation and later on by the eradication through eating process.
