Gillian Wearing

Confess All On Video. Don't Worry You Will Be in Disguise. Intrigued? Call Gillian Version II (1994)

In these videos a series of participants responding to an advertisement in Time Out magazine, took up wearings offer to make their confessions on camera.
From these videos Wearing raises questions about the motives behind a confession. Disguised the participants were to tell the truth about things to which they would never admit in daily life. At the same time they could invent flamboyant lies without being caught.
I think this is a good way of getting insight into the things that people keep secret and carry with them in their daily lives without telling anyone. It also gives an insight into the types of lies that people make up, even though you never find out if they had lied or not.
