Erik Kessels on the power of failure
Experience the Wonder of Creativity/Recorded 2016
A close reading, kept within reach.
Erik Kessels takes art & photography as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Netherlands in 2016, the conversation is grounded in Erik's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Do not fear failure; move towards your mistakes. Dutch advertising guru Erik Kessels shares some industry wisdom at the Design Indaba Conference.
