CONFESSIONAL
Confessional is an animated typographic sequence of “confessions” submitted by those who answered a call to anonymously share something they are “haunted” by—the definition of which was not supplied. Confessional presents us with media we may not historically encounter via television or in public. Through this controlled disruption of expectation and presentation, Confessional asks us to engage actively with an apparatus we most often experience passively, and leaves us with an unusually emotional experience.
Confessional is an apparatus for becoming haunted. A public broadcast of the private via 40-year-old portable television, Confessional pulls these messages from the invisible highway of VHF radio waves and displays them for visual consumption. Acting as a medium for the message, Confessional provides us a way to tap into things others have whispered into the void.
