Edited by Frank WarrenThe instructions were simple, but the results were extraordinary.Like the website (that I visit every week after it's been updated), the postcards range from funny to tragic, silly to disturbing, trivial to profound. Some of the postcards are wonderfully creative - they truly are works of art.
“You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything – as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative.”
Layout-wise, I didn't like the cards that were displayed over 2 pages as the text was often partly hidden in the crease, but it's still a clever idea turned into an interesting coffee table book. It's also nice to know that part of the proceeds go to a suicide hotline.
My Rating: 3.5/5
“Like fingerprints, no two secrets are identical, but every secret has a story behind it.”
I usually take this book and peruse a few images while visiting the bookstore. It's definitely an interesting peek into the minds of random people.
