Fetish delves into the stratified relationships between culture, value, and material, focusing on Sigmund Freud’s personal collection of archaeological statues and artifacts. Filmed at the Freud Museum in London, it portrays the annual nocturnal cleaning of the psychoanalyst's collection, suggesting an analogy between the careful, voyeuristic, almost ritualistic removal of layers of dust from the objects and the intimate excavations and disclosures of analysis, both processes normally hidden from view.
