Director Statement:
Confessions’ intimate, yet violent and toxic self-talk have been at the center of my thoughts for a long time, probably every day of the last year - and not only as a researching artist. In a time when symptoms of depression in Western teenagers are skyrocketing, I believe that it is by voicing our pains and struggles with mental health together with others that we might expose affects and unreflected emotions, as well as open ourselves up for new understandings and connections. We might even find ways of breaking out of our ceaselessly looping thoughts and inner voices. That is at least my hope!
