By winding the crank a merry-go-round emerges into our sight. Grotesque characters march through the spiralling structure. The digital screen juxtaposed with the vintage wooden confession box. Carved trefoil ornaments in solid wood evokes church interiors – a historical site of confession and repentance. The fantastical figures in hazmat suits renew the circus setting to our current digital age. On the penultimate level of the spiral, centaurs jump for an instagram ‘like’ – a modern symbol of Vanity. In the end of the animation, Jesus sheds blood into the Holy Grail to seek salvages for our misdeeds.
