In the bachelor's thesis, I discuss the topic of failure. Perhaps I do it successfully or I fail to do it because both concepts hold paradoxes. I explore its negative connotation and how attitudes towards it have changed in the past, both in art and in everyday life. I note that the perception of failure in art has a different value and I show how its use can be useful. Later, I explain the difference between mistake and failure since they are connected terms. I describe the Sisyphean task in more detail. It is the basis for my practical work – a video performance titled ‘Nowhere Fast’. Thus, I refer to artists who have dealt with the subject from the 1960s onwards. In the meantime, I wonder about the productivity of both, the individual and society nowadays.
