Booth of Truth at Tate Modern : Late at the Tate

In association with BACKLIT Gallery, Nottingham.

One in 4 participants were selected from the human roulette wheel to enter The Booth of Truth:

Participants reacted, in spoken word to a series of image and text prompts by Dominique. The scripts and flash cards were based on methods of free association which surrealist poets such as Andre Breton pioneered in the 1920’s. Inside the Booth, the participants spoke in streams about their inner most secrets in partially coded language. They were given a vinyl record with the live recording to take away.
