How to Fail Better? is a collaborative exploration of the physical and emotional aspects of labour and endurance. In collaboration with Berlin-based artists and performers, the project examines choreographed, repetitive movements and the creation of olfactory portraits that evoke the visceral experience of over-extended bodies.

Through these actions, the project questions conventional notions of productivity challenging society’s ideas about which bodies are considered valuable. Staying with the physical limits, exhaustion and failure, How to Fail Better? wants to highlight forms of resisting efficiency and breaking away from the pressure of relentless performance, reflecting what it means to endure and to fail.
