The public art project 14 CONFESSIONS TO THE CITY is done in the form of an open diary. Coming as a new person to Vienna Elena has the luxury of being completely honest with the city, as it's always easier to talk to strangers. So she's placed around the city 14 confessions, as well as located the empty boards for others to confess.

Being a Belarusian artist that lived in Ukraine before the war, Elena Rabkina speculates about going through this experience, politics, the charisma of Vienna and some accumulated insights.

After the public exhibition on the streets of Vienna's 2nd District, the boards are to be collected and exhibited at Superbude on the 7th floor as a recurring exhibition. Guests of the hotel will have an opportunity to send their confessions and once a month I'll reveal one new saying.

This project explores the relationship between vulnerability and publicity, as well as allows viewers to get a glimpse of the artist's refugee experience through self-reflection.
