Confessions, public art project, The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, Nevada by Candy Chang.

For one month, Chang lived in Vegas. Visitors could stop by, enter a booth, write whatever thoughts they wanted to share, and drop the confession into a box that mixed anonymously with other slips. Chang then took the anonymous slips and displayed them on the walls, painting selected responses in white against a larger red canvas background. According to Chang’s website, “This project seeks to create a cathartic sanctuary for this temporary community and help us see we are not alone in our quirks, experiences and struggles as we try to lead fulfilling lives.”

this is beautiful.

This is spectacular. There’s something about communal art projects that’s inherently moving; the notion of a common experience, but this one is really something. It’s a simple premise, not even necessarily an original one (after Frank Warren’s incredible PostSecret) but it’s handled with such grace and tact. It looks wonderful and the whole brown paper and string medium builds on the raw, inglorious nature of a lot of the submissions.
