Two eggs touch tip to tip against a white ground. The one on the left is gold, split by a black crack from which a spark of light escapes. The one on the right is its reflection, white and pale, the same fissure in negative. Nothing else in the picture, apart from a very faint reflection.

On a pale wooden table, a silver stemmed glass with a gilded rim holds a stack of golden eggshells, piled like vertebrae, the topmost one open and pierced with light. The ground is white, overexposed, and the whole thing stands erect, without one seeing how.

A blue night. A glass egg filled with gilded fragments stands on a stone plinth; above it float white wadding, a length of barbed wire and a lit garland. Below, gold half-shells on straw, and a single headless lead figurine, arm outstretched and armed, standing on one of them.

A bare, gilded tree carries glossy black eggs at the tips of its branches. At its foot, a ring of broken shells and ash, and five headless lead figurines, one arm raised and armed, scattered around it. White ground, no shadow, nothing to place the scene.

A pink ground. A bare tree planted in a glass jar, its lid open, carries golden eggs on its branches, some whole, some opened like flowers. At the bottom of the jar, a few broken golden shells.

A band of pink and red straw crosses the top of the picture, and eggs of gold and red lacquer surface in it like buds. Below hangs a piece of tree bark in a V, blue-grey and heavy, and gilded barbed wire runs in loops across the pale ground.

Lilia El Golli (born in 1972) is a French-Tunisian photographer and author. She lived and studied in Paris, Madrid and Dublin, and now works from her studio near Paris, with long stays in Tunisia that feed her work. Her photography, minimalist and close to surrealism, explores the "unseen", what surrounds us without catching the eye, and questions our relationship to the land, the condition of women and the gap between what is imagined and what is pictured. Shadow, light, colour and movement trace an inner journey at the edge of the mystical. Her series Broken Egg(0) (2021), from which Blooming Day and Leviathan's Glory are taken, makes the egg a motif of fertility, identity and creative resilience, linking Tunisian childhood memories to the transformation of an intimate ordeal into a new form. Her fine art prints on Hahnemühle paper are issued in limited, numbered and certified editions. Honourable mention at the Africa Photo Awards (2020) and winner of a Pro d'Or Havas (2013), she has exhibited in Paris, Tunis, Arles, Geneva and Saudi Arabia, and has collaborated with Arte, Carnet d'Art and BabelMed.
