Confession constitutes an autobiographical act of narration directed towards a non-existent absolute being. This inherently allows for the editing and selective choice of experienced events according to the ideology of subjective memory and psychological state. In the post-truth era, humans feel anxiety and a lack of meaning in the wake of truth's dissolution, yearning once more for absolute foundations. This desire returns in the form of a transcendent order or religious focal point, operating as a collective impulse to restore certainty within a relativised world.Â
This work proposes the auto-narrative as a space for practice that externalises the tension between incomplete subjective truth and relative absoluteness. At the boundary of the eternal outside, which might be termed a priori, absence, impossible mourning, and a state of dysfunction are transformed into poetic confession. This is a symptom arising from the complex and profound interplay of factors including personal loss, a self-defensive psychological state, the socio-structural political environment, and the labour experience as an image producer.
