Short film, Wolf and the hidden Key, Pact23.com

It is said that the Key* is broken and that we need to find the Smyth*. It is also said, that the Smith is gone, as in our era, genuine smiths can't be found anymore.
Therefore the question is: 'Is there any hope for humans?'

In the title for this short film I changed the word 'broken' into 'hidden' as to artificially adding hope, which I hope will give us strength to move towards more wisdom and (inner) peace.
This means to realise the inner Smith in the end.

(* The key in 'Witte zwanen-Zwarte zwanen'. This one is very special and therefore Capitalized)

This video is a short art-film about the collective persona (represented by different sub-voices) and the collective unconscious, which is always a theme in fairytales and archetypal material in film and literature. The main character has to overcome different crises, to become whole and mature. At the same time I use humour and theatrical elements to emphasise the incongruity of our personal ego and ego-trips, which in fact most people in western society are hardly aware of, or -in several cases- take too seriously.

As an artist I've always been intrigued by these themes. I work in an experimental way as to find out myself the deeper truth behind the image. I experience a deeper level as more abstract, more energetic and in motion, not fixed so to say. The unconscious consist of different levels too, To me dreamwork and performance-art offer me the opportunity to explore these realms of existence, which abut to cosmic realms and infinity.
I agree with Allan Wallace, Mellie Uyldert and Georg Gurdieff for what they say about 'reality'. There are big differences in personality, vision and approach, so I studied and I am still studying and investigating, not only the outlook of these authors, who show and share great knowledge and understanding, but many, many others, who also share profound knowledge about science and scientific research. Furthermore there's my own skill and experience, so I can speak of a mixture of personal information, research, techniques and sources which give me the opportunity to dive even deeper.

An image has no inherent existence, but is a kind of projection on which we are grasping all the time, in the ego's wish for sturdiness or an ancor. I think that, on a deeper level, we know that we don't have that much or nearly any control. Carl Jung provided the concept of the symbolic attitude, which can help to cut through this apparent firmness of images to find another reality, a certain meaning. I think that's another kind of grasping, but as it is another kind and another level, it can help already to become less fixed.

With this film I'd like to give the possibility or at least invite you to explore and transform patterns of habitual consciousness.
