Most people have, at one point in their life, kept a diary. Many stopped after a while and never looked back, whereas others kept on documenting everything that happens in life, both the good bits and the sad stuff. A diary can offer many curious insights into an unfolding adolescent life, for example, and often it's funny to read in, when looking back.
Dear Diary, an exhibition put together by Ctrl.Alt.Shift, showcases the diaries of selected people, such as Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love and many others. Also a book has been created, called Dear Diary book, that you can buy here.
With the book and exhibition you can also dwell into the diaries of people you've never heard of before, dating back to the 19th century, for a snapshot of an unknown life. The British Museum’s collection of Irving Finkel diaries and Dan Eldon, who between the ages of 15 and 22 kept a diary about his adventures in Kenya, both have their journals on display as well.
But Ctrl.Alt.Shift. is taking the concept one step further and is asking you to submit your own diary, which will be continuously posted on the Diary blog.
