Compelling Confessions
Posted by Kate Sullivan
It's compelling stuff, reading other people's secrets. Some are easy to relate to, others shock and frighten but reading PostSecret
is always thought provoking. The concept of this on-going community art
project is simple, you just customise a postcard with details of your
untold secret and post it, via snail mail, to Frank.
Frank Warren set up the PostSecret blog in November 2004 as part of a Washington based multimedia arts event, Artomatic.
Almost, every Sunday for the past 3 years, he scans the received postcards and sets the secrets public for the voyeuristic world to see.
There
are no archives on this blog but you can buy a number of books
containing images of the home-made confessional cards. The latest one,
published last month is titled A Lifetime of Secrets: A PostSecret Book.
In a similar vein and if you want to make or read secret apologies, Invisible Book is another collaborative art project where you can simply type your regret for your online confessional.
