The Secret 2011
Beyond their obvious function objects have a symbolic one, which is given by the individual user, owner or a cultural group.
"The Secret" is a conceptional project about the meta level of things.
The short film tells the story about the religion of the neo-animists who believe that every object possess spirits who constantly have to be worshiped. Objects become sacred. Basic daily routines like brushing teeth, cooking or sleeping become elaborate ceremonies.
