An inventory of objects from the filmmaker's daily life that have been entrusted to him and which, over time, have become a collection.
I want to create an object with an image or word, by filming it. I show the camera some objects from my everyday life – things that once belonged to other people I loved or had a lot to do with – and I say, "I am the sum of everything the others have given me." What mysterious relationship is there between these objects? Between these objects and me?” – Boris Lehman
