PLOT
The title ironically alludes to the human attitude of domesticating every sort of spaces, from private gardens to the landscape. The secret life of things –still leben- is gradually revealed in these domestic shots, fragments of melodies overlap accompanying the exploration of the wunderkammer. Archaeological and natural findings, everyday tools and mirabilia appear in succession: it is a journey through different social classes and through the history of the common land in Aberdeenshire.
