EXHIBITION // "ALL-Day Breakfast"

"ALL-Day Breakfast" is a joint exhibition by two animation artists, Heta Jäälinoja and Äggie Pak Yee Lee. It's a result of spending two months in TYPA Printmaking residency.
The theme of the exhibition is built around the atmosphere of the Balcony Gallery: the sounds and the smells of the restaurant below.
When the breakfast is made from ink and paper, not everything might be as expected. The potato is jumping, the salami is suspiciously pink, the waitress is falling and a couple of monkeys has found their way to the table. However, printmaking and cooking have some similarities. Sometimes no matter how strictly you follow the recipe, the result is not good and you don't know why. Some of these failures are proudly presented in the exhibition. In the end, it's just ink, or spilled tomato sauce.
Under these circumstances we invite you to the restaurant with us.


Heta Jäälinoja (b.1989, Finland) studied animation at Turku Arts Academy and Estonian Academy of Arts. Her animated short films have won multiple awards in festivals around the world, including France TV award and Audience Award in Annecy 2023 for “Nun or Never!”. Starting from 2016, she’s been teaching animation students in Finland, Estonia and Sweden. Heta likes romantic comedies and salty liquorice ice cream.
Äggie Pak Yee Lee (b. 1989, British Hong Kong) is an animation artist. She studied in Hong Kong and graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts. She mainly works with drawings, prints and moving images. Some of her films have been selected and awarded in festivals worldwide. Her works usually drew inspiration from observing the potential of objects found in life and rolling in between the flow of audio-visual relationship with tint of stupidity and melancholy. Currently, she is learning how to cook and build her playground with her monkey feet.
