Confession
Video Performance, 3min 43sec, Camera HD
Confession brings up the theme of communication. As a politico-social critique of a universal sentiment, this video tells us about our lack of consideration towards others and towards what they try to tell us. This young woman is talking directly to the viewer, i.e. to the world. Hence, a link is directly created between the video and the viewer. He is singled out and subsequently unconsciously devotes his attention to the girl addressing him, involving himself in an exercise of communication.

At
this moment the tape makes sense. Because, what would have happened if
the tape had not been there? Could it have mattered to this young woman
if she had the opportunity to speak freely? The public would certainly
have paid less attention and the situation would have been less
interesting. Is it a plight or a fatalistic phenomenon?
In
this order of ideas, the end justifies the means. We come to the point
of having to put ourselves in danger to be heard. We are dealing here
with the disability of language, which causes widespread difficulties in
communication, constantly generating an interest in what is not normal
or what intrigues us. Therefore, the video confronts the viewer with his
curiosity and his frustration because he doesn’t understand what he
hears.
In addition, the realistic sound of Confession
and the abstract composition of unknown space create confusion between
reality and fiction, and furthers our curiosity about what is really
happening.
