MiniDV Digital Video Installation - 3:06 Minutes

Confessio Saecularis is a video installation documenting a neurodivergent performance action which occurred in late fall on Minnesota Point. It's a conceptual performance action rooted in my lived experience of neurodivergence, especially related to stimming modalities and emotional processing. Confessio Saecularis is a humanist act of penance, a personal ritual, a secular confession. While carrying a hand sized stone which was found at the entrance to the walking path on Minnesota Point, I ran the entire length of the beachside forest, an approximate total of about 4 miles, finally reaching the end of the island-like sand spit jutting out into the great lake Gitchigami, Lake Superior.
