PostSecret is
an ongoing community project created by Frank Warren, in which people mail
secrets anonymously on a handmade postcard. There is no restrictions on the
content of the secret; only that it must be completely truthful and must never
been spoken before. Entries range from admissions of sexual misconduct and
criminal activity to confessions of secret desires, embarrassing habits, hopes
and dreams. Some these secrets are posted on the PostSecret
website (updated every Sunday) or
used for exhibitions or PostSecret's books. It was launched in 2005.
The books are
compilations of submitted secrets, including some which were never posted on the
website. Warren has stated that he includes a secret of his own in each book.
But his "secret" is not anonymous like most. To date five books have been
published:
-PostSecret:
Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives (2005)
-My
Secret: A PostSecret Book (2006)
-The Secret Lives of Men and Women: A PostSecret Book (2007)
-A
Lifetime of Secrets: A PostSecret Book (2007)
-Confessions on Life, Death, & God (2009).
This is one of the first mail projects I have discovered
trough Internet. But I have recently found the twin versions of PostSecret in
different countries and languages: PostSecretFrance, PostSecret auf Deutsch (Germany), PostSecretPT (Portugal), Post Hemligheter (Sweden), etc. However, I am not sure if these sites are "official" nor regularly updated.
