mishappenings, 2018-19

 

This project is about how we perceive failure. Everyday small failings reflect ‘mishappenings’: of communication and dialogue, of what happens between humans, and of what happens between humans and their natures, including machines. I can identify and empathise with these mishappenings, and when I set out to document a few of my performative interactions with the so-called ‘flawed’ as a way to address our shared experiences and tensions around intimate connections, it became an exercise to try and understand the ununderstandable.


You can see the book that I made for this project here.
