A Failing System is a site-specific intervention within a series of live performances. I try to fix the electrical/lighting system in the venue that seems to be making noise and going out of control. My actions of moving back and forth and pushing beyond the stage represented a continuous pursuit of solutions, even to the point of exhaustion. This process of failing and repairing ultimately became the show.
