The “corpus delicti” — the piece of evidence — is a spruce branch that the family found in the Eistlenbach stream near Brienzwiler in June 2007. That evening in the living room, Seylech fooled around with the wooden stick in front of the children, slipping into different roles. Capturing this in a series of photos inspired him so much that the photo shoot took place that same week.
Eleven years later, his son David created a funny short film, which can be seen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vkUp_jaZnk
