„Eating Secrets“ was initiated after a Tarot de Marseille reading by Moreno Arco Fazari at the Le Viaduc Café in Paris, April 2017. It is based on psycho-magic exercises proposed by Alexandro Jodorowsky. In psycho-magic, images are used as symbols to appear to the unconscious mind as real events. A similar thing can be said about the impression of films onto the soul. In this film the rituals of psycho-magic are compared to the act of creating images itself and thereby this film comes about.
It creates a dynamic sense of time, something like a static and nomadic meandering for progress. Rituals for self-improvement come into mind. It feels like wandering in some sort of labyrinthian purgatory, if purgatory was a dream in my childhood backyard and I was nine years old again — not much happens, but the stakes seem startlingly high. The ground/earth becomes a complicit partner/collaborator in the ritual.
