In Spring 2022, Rebecca Copper and I made a video together, which involved me cracking eggs on a mirror to the sound of rhythm timekeeping with a metronome. We were invited to show the video at Dream Clinic Project Space in Columbus, OH. We co-authored a score to guide the gallery attendants in cracking eggs on the floor of the gallery space. To our delight, they accepted. The score is transcribed below.

An Egg Score 

Use one, two, or twelve eggs

Grab as many as you need

Throw one or more onto a hard surface

Throw into an interior corner, the two walls and ground will cradle the egg yolk spillage 

You can lose control, it’s okay

You never really had much (control) to begin with anyway

Nor the egg or it’s birthing chicken mother 

Tap an unbroken shell on an edge

Use your two thumbs to pull at the slight crack

Listen to the shell break the egg contents slip out

Allow the inners to spread out into the shapes they desire to be

Gravity will pull 

Down

Down

Down 

Chase the yolk with your bare hands 

Grab it, scoop it

Into a container 

Remove the smashed shells

You can compost it, if you do it right 

Cleanse the area with a sponge and some water 

Repeat as necessary
