Objekt

Object

"Object" explores the metaphysics of objects through its author Loreto Quijada, who herself becomes the object of exploration in this film. Her search for meaning forms the backbone of the story.

After leaving her country, Loreto finds photos on the ground at a tram stop in Germany. This reminds her of her own photos she left behind in her home country and triggers a personal search based on the materiality of objects and the memories they preserve. Loreto talks about what she took with her when she left Chile as well as the process of selection. This personal experience becomes universal when she meets other immigrants living in NRW, who talk about what they took with them when they left their homeland.
