The Key To Iris
experimental documentary, 14 min, 2026
Outside the street continues
without knowing what has occured
Inside something subtle has shifted
the house is no longer exactly as it was
and neither am I
The Key has done its work
To be given a key is a dangerous kindness. Cast in metal, it signifies access and trust, but also the potential to intrude. To enter a home is to subtly shift its spatial and relational balance. The Key to Iris examines the key as both an object and a proposal. Does belonging come from being granted access, or from the act of stepping inside and crossing into another’s space? This work responds to Iris Bengtsson's research envelope.
Belinda Morén (b. 1994) is a multimedia artist fascinated by the states and space between wakefulness, sleep and the unreal. She is drawn to the mysteries of existence and our attempts to make sense of them – the surreal and absurd fascinate her. She invites the viewer to a world where dreams and reality blur, revealing the unconscious mind.
