Installation at Maudslay Sculpture Show - Summer 2008
“The Truth will set you free”. Tapping into people’s guilt and denial of poor environmental behavior, GAL offered the public to “come clean” by giving public “eco-confessions”. The participants were asked to write confessions on used clothing and hang them on a publicly displayed laundry line. As viewers read the “eco-confessions” of others, they often recognized their own less-than-green lifestyle. GAL engaged in dialogue with the “eco-confessors,” brainstorming solutions for positive change. The playful and supportive atmosphere of “Air Your Dirty Laundry” allowed people to look honestly at their consumption habits and empowered them to change.
