The instructions were simple, but the results were extraordinary. 'You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative.' It all began with an idea Frank Warren had for a community art project. He handed out postcards, asking people to write down a secret and post it to him, anonymously. The response was overwhelming. In under a year, Frank had over 10 000 cards which he posted on the website. The confessions were thought-provoking, funny and weird, touching on every aspect of human experience and revealing much about the state of modern life and catapulting PostSecret to the status of global phenomenon.
PostSecret
Hilarious, scandalous and shocking, PostSecret shows intimate and personal snapshots into the lives and minds of strangers. Many of these 'secrets' that people have illustrated are baffling, and, more often than not, unbelievable. Definitely worth sharing with friends, this makes a fantastic coffee-table book.
