Confession Station

The word „Confession“ has many meanings:  it often implies guilt. Or even fallibility. But sometimes it brings with it positive connotations. For example, when we profess our love for someone, or when we acknowledge that someone is important to us. Leaving aside any moral evaluation of the word, we are still confronted with another aspect, namely that a confession can be something very simple:  the revealing of our own very personal history.

Confession Station is a place where you can preserve your own personal confession or acknowledgement. For example, in the form of a letter, an object, but also with a picture or sound-document. The object itself is handled confidentially, and sealed in a so-called “Confession Bag”.

That said, Confession Station is much more than a virtual vault for personal matters. Confession Station is also a gallery. That is to say, we will photograph your Confession Bag and publish it on our (initially virtual) gallery.

Confession Station is also meant to be a place of reflection.  It is not only about preservation and presentation, but also about controversy regarding your own history. The contents of your Confession Bag belong to you, and as such are held in confidence. Naturally, you are free to talk about the contents of your Bag. In any case, we encourage you to say something about yourself, or about your motivations. In what detail you choose to go is something left to you. What counts is that you write something.
