Confessors

Confessors is a short, personal essay that attempts to retrace bits of lost or inaccessible family histories. The artist’s grandparents give him a can of film marked “x-rated” without explanation, as well as an old 8mm camera. The film was lost before he was able to watch it. The resulting video is a consideration of the ephemeral nature of home movies and the lives they can’t help but fail to preserve.
