In Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, a marble obelisk allows visitors to bury their secrets. The installation, created by French artist Sophie Calle, stands as a 25-year project commissioned by Creative Time. Visitors write down their deepest secrets and place them in the obelisk's slot. Over the next 25 years, Calle will periodically exhume and burn the secrets in a ceremony. Calle, who had her own secret that she wanted to unburden, hopes the installation provides a moment of catharsis for others.
