The Confessional
A portable room where honesty becomes possible
About the work
A decommissioned horse trailer, rebuilt into a mobile space for anonymous truth-telling. The Confessional sets up at festivals, community events and institutional foyers, creating a temporary room where people can say what systems teach them to hide. It is not therapy and not art for art's sake; it is a pressure valve that travels.
Why this work
Some truths only emerge when the architecture of a space grants permission. The Confessional is not therapy. It is not art for art's sake. It is a pressure valve, a portable room where honesty becomes possible.
