Needing To Tell was an interactive wall installation in the Bar/Confessional space of "The Repentance Café." The Café was constructed for the show in an empty commercial space on 8th Street in New York City, given for the duration of the exhibition. The piece included stories, both solicited and contributed by visitors, that concerned repentance or regret. Needing To Tell filled a large wall space, overlaid with prints, objects and images suggesting a narrative left for the viewer to surmise. Visitors were offered pre-addressed postcards with photographs on them. The photo images were meant to suggest the initiation of a story. People could either add to the wall after sitting at the café tables to write, where free coffee and wine were served, or they could take the postcards home to mail in later. People did both.
