NEOCONFESSIONAL is a participatory installation that takes a peak at our risk-averse culture. It explores notions of conservatism and the widespread cultural practice of resisting change. NEOCONFESSIONAL combines the tradition of covertly writing secrets on toilet walls, with contemporary online 'confession' culture enable by sites such as YouTube. The work collates the confessions and presents them as a collective outing of conservative tendencies. Done something recently that has left your inner progressive feeling compromised? Better out than in.
