"Forgive me Father for I have Sinned..."

I came across this very interesting site via the NY Times today. It is PostSecret, which is a really fascinating blog. The gist of it is, this artist has asked people to mail in anonymous confessions in the form of decorative postcards, which he then posts every week on his blog. I have to say it is very interesting to see the results. They seem to range from teenage angst with suicidal thoughts, to sexual fantasies, to mid-life crises, to sagely wisdom about life. The goal is for the artist to put together a montage of all of them and publish a book. Now that is what I call art.

This has been done before (not to deminish its interest) in gallery settings even. In some cases, you had to confess to something to get access to others' anonymous secrets.
