This is an ongoing series of one-on-one performances carried out by the artist and an exhibition or studio visitor. Both parties sign a binding non-disclosure agreement that enables the visitor to disclose a secret to the artist in confidence. While NDAs are typically used to silence witnesses or prevent the disclosure of damaging information, this work explores their potential to artificially create an environment that facilitates the sharing of intimate or private information.
