Sinopse
A fun and fabulous take on the art of making mistakes. Erik Kessels celebrates
imperfection and failure and shows why they are an essential part of the creative process.
Failed it! celebrates the power of mistakes and shows how they can enrich the creative process. This
is part photobook and part guide to loosening up and making mistakes to take the fear out
of failure and encourage experimentation.
It showcases the best and most hilarious examples of imperfection and failure across a
broad range of creative forms, including art, design, photography, architecture and
product design, to inspire and encourage creatives to embrace and celebrate their mistakes.
We live in an era when everyone is striving for perfection and we have become afraid of
failure, which limits our potential. Mistakes help us find new ways of thinking and
innovative solutions, and failures can change our perceptions and open up new ways of
looking things. This book transforms mistakes from something to be embarrassed about into
a cause for celebration.
It includes over 150 visual examples drawn from Kessels personal collection of artworks
and found photographs, along with tips, quotes, anecdotes and wisdom for celebrating with
failure. To quote Kessels: 'the ubiquity of Apple + Z, means that we can literally undo
any mistake before it has had time to breathe, be considered and - perhaps - evolve into
something else: a fascinating, strange, provocative or even original piece of work. This
book asks readers to embrace their fuck-ups, learn from them and celebrate their tawdry
glory'.
