Cubicle Your Fears is a collection of extracts, in a graffiti style, from Richard DeDomenici’s Shed Your Fears installation which appeared at Tate Modern in 2017. The exhibit took the form of a wooden shed comprising to cubicles, within which participants could sit and anonymously, safely, and privately share their fears, hopes and dreams with a stranger. Shed Your Fears was designed to enable participants to express their honest feelings, without shame or recrimination, and led to some unexpectedly powerful results.
