Secretprojectrevolution is no longer a secret, since last week became a manifesto through art which has the signature of the excentric photographer Steven Klein, who is directing together with the queen of pop music, Madonna.

The black and white succession of images lasts 17 minutes and the film talks about the actual problems of the world, from the economic crises to hunger or homosexuality.
On why she chose a manifesto through art, Madonna states on her official website “My goal is to show by the example of secretprojectrevolution my creative commitment to inspire change in the world through artistic expression. I hope my film and other submissions to Art For Freedom will be a call-to-action and give people a place to voice their own creative expression to help fight oppression, intolerance and complacency.”

We can observe here an interesting term used by the 55 years old star, and that is “call-to-action”. Through this term we can deduce the artist’s will that the public would replicate this protest through art, given the art’s intrinsic purpose, which is to set free, to create a space where you can express freely your thoughts, your ideas or even the discontentment on the world, on life, on politics or economy, just like the genius Steven Klein underlines: “This film operates on many levels. It examines our private prisons. It questions what we do, how we do it, and how we treat others. It questions our governments, and our collective thought patterns. Think about it – the power of art can lead to peace.”

Although very new, Artforfreedom.com has great success and each day users all over the world pos through the section “submit artwork”. I’ve tried it too, but I didn’t get to see it up, maybe tomorrow…
Back to secretprojectrevolution, I don’t think it’s a short film, because the 17 minutes are full with meaning, it’s filled with the experience of a modern history where cruelty is present and it is expressing the way nations think because of totalitarian leaders. Secretprojectrevolution it’s not about secrets, doesn’t encourage violence, but merely exposes real and actual problems, unstoppable due to some mentalities based on paradigms that have a basis on underdevelopped, barbarian and old axiom. Secretprojectrevolution encourages people to express through art, to freely let go your thoughts and to be less interested by what others say or think. Secretprojecrevolution enocurages you to be the way you want to be, not the way others want you to be, encourages a revolution of expressing love through art.

The world crisis and especially the economic crisis with which USA confronts and the recent outrageous anti-gay events in Russia probably made Madonna take action.

“History is repeating, you don’t see some patterns.” Madonna says. History has its own cycle, but the human mind is unstoppable and the spiritual evolution can change the history cycle. Through creativity we can beat the evil in the world and we can change the history.

The star’s discourse is simple, with simple phrases with simple words, that anyone would understand, without metaphors, but very strong, addressed to any category of people, no matter the ethnic group, sex, sexual prefferences and so on. It is a discourse strategically wrote for any mentality, but having a generalized effect, of waking up from an ireal reality.

Talking about the artistic input of the film, Steven Kelin’s presence is nore than obvious from the first 10 seconds. His approach is generally black and white, as well as the S&M direction, while guns and bed are present in many of his works.

We look forward to Madonna’s revolution as we will keep an eye on the sharing platform created by Madonna and Steven Klein, which is www.artforfreedom.com
