Guilty Pleasures, 2018-2026
Variable multi-channel video and sound installation

Guilty Pleasures is a multi-channel video and sound installation composed of whispered confessions and fragmented gestures. Disembodied hands perform involuntary, repetitive movements—tics that echo the psychological tension carried by the voice. Across a distributed arrangement of screens and speakers, the work constructs an intimate yet unstable field where private thoughts circulate in public space.

The whispered texts - spoken by the artist - take the form of “guilty pleasures”: minor fantasies, compensatory fictions, and interior negotiations with shame, ego, and vulnerability. These confessions do not seek resolution; rather, they operate as mechanisms of self-soothing, projection, and quiet self-exposure.

Installed as a spatial constellation, the work invites visitors into a dispersed circle of listening and viewing, where attention shifts between voice and gesture, interiority and embodiment. Gossip, here, is reconfigured as a solitary yet shared practice: an ambiguous zone between relief and discomfort, where the boundaries between private and public begin to blur.
