나누어준 엽서에 자신만의 비밀을 담아 익명으로 돌려보내달라는 것이 전부였던 Frank Warren의 단순한 커뮤니티 프로젝트가 만들어낸 놀라운 결과물.

개개인의 고유한 기록이면서도 보편적인 공감대를 이끌어내는 일상의 "감정"들이 살아있는 예술 작품으로 다채롭고 눈부시게 탄생했다. 상상력을 뛰어넘는 예술적인 표현에 담긴 진솔한 생활의 기록, 익명이기에 가능한 솔직한 개인사(史)를 작가 Frank Warren 는 "그래픽 하이쿠"라고 칭송한다. 지금도 이 엽서들은 계속해서 그에게 도착하고 있다.

"The project that captured a nation's imagination.

The instructions were simple, but the results were extraordinary.

"You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal "anything -- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative."

It all began with an idea Frank Warren had for a community art project. He began handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places -- asking people to write down a secret they had never told anyone and mail it to him, anonymously.

The response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art -- carefully and creatively constructed by hand. Addictively compelling, the cards reveal our deepest fears, desires, regrets, and obsessions. Frank calls them "graphic haiku," beautiful, elegant, and small in structure but powerfully emotional.

As Frank began posting the cards on his website, PostSecret took on a life of its own, becoming much more than a simple art project. It has grown into a global phenomenon, exposing our individual aspirations, fantasies, and frailties -- our common humanity.

Every day dozens of postcards still make their way to Frank, with postmarks from around the world, touching on every aspect of human experience. This extraordinary collection brings together the most powerful, personal, and beautifully intimate secrets Frank Warren has received -- and brilliantly illuminates that human emotions can be unique and universal at the same time.
