Displaced Confessions



Video Stills from Displaced Confessions, Digital Video, 2008

Displaced Confessions is based on the transfer of traumatic experience from one person to another.  The confessions are one step removed from the individuals that have experienced them.  The project delves into issues of collective identity and disclosure of private information in public spaces.

Iraq Discussion Project

Iraq Discussion Project is a multi-faceted project created as a forum for free political expression.  A mobile booth that is similar in design to a confessional booth was a main element of the project.  This booth was taken around the San Francisco bay area in an effort to catalog the ideas of participants.  The objective of this ongoing project is to document through video the current moment in history characterized by what aspects of that history participants wish to disclose/preserve.

This component of the project consisted of participants answering the question: What would happen if the US pulled all troops from Iraq today?
