The Bathroom Confessional When you enter the Bathroom Confessional you will be able to experience the sights and sounds of a new type of confession stall. Here you can express your bodily waste and at the same time alleviate emotional garbage, regrets, guilt and other trapped negativity. Vocal contributors are: Kay Bunton, Max Hautala, Jason Hetrick, Cara Jaye, Cindy Jaye, Mariah Tate Klemens, Cezar Mesquita, Hamsa Magsi, Cameron Nessman, Coco Overstreet and Mazzy Robinson. Your confession will be kept private; your confession is solely between you, the stall and your divinity. On this special seat you can confess any concerning matters great or small. No confessions will be recorded or monitored – all dialogue is confidential. After you confess you are rewarded with penance. Penances are suitably tailored to each visitor. If you would like to make your confession or your experience public you are invited to post your words, images or videos to Instagram at #theBathroomConfessional. The Bathroom Confessional was created by artist Cara Jaye, with superb technical support from Hamza Magsi. The welcome introduction is voiced by Kay Bunton.
You may also write your confession to this Google Doc and it will be transcribed for you.
