The work is a collection of anonymously collected passwords and the stories behind them, questioning the place of personal ‘secrets’ and security in contemporary society. In the video young actors, between the ages of 13-16 years old, stand in front of a red backdrop and read thoughtful, humorous, and emotional stories about a chosen word that often discloses personal information, which is the antithesis of its purpose. Alongside with the video the 74 passwords and stories behind them is published in a book with the same name in the style of a paperback novel.
