The Criminal Us: Anonymous Confessions Juxtaposed This project first installed at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia in 1999 will be re-installed at the prison in the spring of 2009. The Criminal Us addresses issues of the differences/similarities between the convicted criminal and the "average citizen."The anonymous written confessions from both groups are presented throughout the installation. Without specifically stating which confessions are those of convicted criminals and which are not, the implications of a label are removed, leaving only the acts themselves. At the end of the exhibit a table is set up with confession forms for the viewer to complete, thus adding his or her list of crimes to those on display. The exhibit will change as the number of confessions on display increase. |
