Confessions is a video that subverts the reality TV confessional and reflects on the nature of artistic work (full video here). The confessional, a melodramatic space parallel to the storytelling of a reality TV show, documents the contestants as they speak directly to the camera, extending the show’s narrative. Expressing oneself in this cathartic space raises questions about the constant self-performance in reality TV, which closely mirrors the experiences of artists seeking recognition and stability in their work: the quest for success, visibility, competition, identity crisis, existentialism, self-marketing on social media, precarity, power dynamics, ageism, etc. 3D opening credits: Pauline Sesniac, original soundtrack: Sylvain Azam
