The Cabinet revolves around creation, both in a material, physical and mental transformation. It depicts a pre- (or after) the linguistical language.
The Cabinet is a political work, which revolves around when a work takes shape and depicts the origin, perception and communication. Throught the film's cabinet we travel into a common internal space that unites us in an original creative source - a kind of birth of the Artpiece.
The Cabinet depicts emotional dilemmas. A place we all know from different places in life. These psychological states or room together form a metaphor of how things can work in a creative process, but also other transformations that can occur in relationships, growing up etc.. A sense of chaos and hybridity in which everything is mixed together and where the various components is not separable. You are lost in the feeling.
