 In an attempt to recover the human voice in the city of Philadelphia, Place Holdings utilizes and re-works the ritual of confession. A group of local artists has created an opportunity for Philadelphians "to make oneself known, to disclose one's identity," to confess.
Confessionals are placed throughout the city to gather written confessions. The initial conversation begins with the collection of anonymous confessions, and the artists continue the conversation by making an art installation where the individual voices combine into a collective voice. The installation contains the community’s process of confession and opens an opportunity for Philadelphia to know itself.
