Marcella Hackbardt:
True Confessionals
August 20 – November 12, 2016
This series of photographs documents confessional booths
in cathedrals and churches throughout numerous cities in
Italy. An interior inside an interior, their inherent intimacy
is crafted in unendingly unique styles, often made by
hand by artisans. Marcella Hackbardt’s photography is
consistently informed by objects and gestures infused
with symbolism. The confessional is a site laden with
meaning and intentionality, such as the hope or promise of
forgiveness, and the quest for understanding through the
sharing of one’s life stories
