Electra Simon
Confessions
16 Feb - 18 April 2026
Confessions was an installation and participatory work by @electrasimon , exploring what happens when something held inside is witnessed by another.
The structure takes the form of a side-by-side confession booth, set within a street-facing gallery, removed from its original context. While framed as a confession, the invitation is open-ended: to share a memory, a story, a feeling, or to sit in silence. An immediate-response monotype drawing was made during each session, which lasts around one hour.

Some of the works I made during Confessions @harlesdenhighstreet . These works are monotypes and sketches made during confessions, sometimes layered on top of one another. DM me if you’d like to see more <3
Some moments from an upcoming film about artist @electrasimon during her residency and exhibition at @harlesdenhighstreet .
I first documented Electra's practice during her residency at @takeover.beirut in 2024. Centered around her continued engagement with the confessional, this film explores performance, process and collaboration.
Special thanks to @lofty.spot for allowing me to document their confession 🙏
