Would you like to see how the big and small secrets of your life become part of a work of art? Baltic Circle presents the newest work by Johanna Lecklin, where the public is welcomed to confess their secrets. The confessions are recorded on video, showing only a silhouette of the confessor. They combine into a work where the main role is played by real-life stories, from everyday fumbles to tragic events. Reality is often stranger than fiction!
For her previous live-art work Story Cafe, Johanna Lecklin toured several countries collecting people’s stories on video. Story Cafe has been exhibited in festivals of performing arts across the world, such as the Belluard Bollwerk International Festival in Switzerland and the Troubles #5 Festival in Brussels in 2009, along with other biennales and exhibitions. The work was part of It’s a Setup, a compiled exhibition in the Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in 2010.
