Whoops!

This project negotiates the meaning of failure and success. These two notions are bound to each other as the one gives life to the other. It is a semantic dipole that follows us through our whole life. These two meanings can characterize a national state, a society, a person and a system. Although we talk about success we never question its value and how do we conceptualize it.  But which are the targets, the goals that we have to succeed to? Are we free to choose? Failure as a state can provoke enormous consequences in a person’s life as we tend to look failure as a state and not as a moment, although what we do more often in life is failing.  Moreover in the contemporary social-economic crisis the felling of failure has a great impact on the psychology of a person but also in mass psychology. The body is getting of course affected.  Success is following all our life stages as a constant critic.  In the effort to analyze and express our wishes, our goals, our dreams we reach unavoidable the question of our freedom to choose. What are the obstacles that we cannot or we have to overpass? So in our everyday life we run to somewhere, to something. We forget to ask ourselves about for why is life worth living. …”Searching for a solution is an endless procedure with no chance of success, a research of nothing” as Samuel Becket says and he adds ”Nothing is more real than nothing”. In our research we used competitive sports as a vocabulary to make a parallelism of our own life with a race. A life race that transforms from an inner race that provokes an alternation,   and augment to expand and to explode as to find its inner order.  So the performers are in a race but racing to what?
