“Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You— / Not God but a swastika.” According to FBI Files, Sylvia Plath’s father, Otto, may indeed have had Nazi sympathies.

Confessions, public art project, The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas, Nevada by Candy Chang.

For one month, Chang lived in Vegas. Visitors could stop by, enter a booth, write whatever thoughts they wanted to share, and drop the confession into a box that mixed anonymously with other slips. Chang then took the anonymous slips and displayed them on the walls, painting selected responses in white against a larger red canvas background. According to Chang’s website, “This project seeks to create a cathartic sanctuary for this temporary community and help us see we are not alone in our quirks, experiences and struggles as we try to lead fulfilling lives.”

transcription:

who comes to mind      that is this place      that is this time

that comes to mind      & thinking here      of thee i sing

those on the horizon      feel the swell      & take it home

at each turning      turn &

turn so it may be a

returning

for one i know      the horn the given instrument      of his singing

each turn      it is      a yearning      feel the swell      & take it home

for another i know      the making of the book      is his given instrument

“for to believe is      precisely this dialectical wavering”  <109>

instrumental in our singing      what comes to mind

feel the swell      & take it home
