Martina Scarpelli's “Egg” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2019, category Computer Animation.
At first glance *Egg* looks like a dark erotic fantasy about a woman’s obsession. An intimate voice-over tells the story of a woman locked at home, who is both attracted to and scared of an egg. As the story unfolds it becomes clear that the woman is describing her struggle with anorexia.
