By Erik Kessels
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.
"[Kessels] shows how mistakes can be turned into ideas, and failure into success"—
Financial Times Weekend
"In his light-hearted look at failure in image-making, Kessels argues that the artists who work with trickery and imperfections should challenge received perceptions about mistakes"—
