Momentography of a Failure is a collaborative photography and urban research project that calls for practicing forms of participatory citizenship by exercising interdisciplinary collaborative creation, curating photo essays by local residents, and digital and print publishing.

The projects invites experts from various disciplines and local residents to explore the failure(s) of a particular district, rethink the possibilities and problems of their neighborhood, recycle the collective memories of the space and speculate on potential future narratives.

This edition of Momentography of a Failure [translocal] explored the gig economy and supplier work that cultural actors have taken up during the pandemic to fund their livelihoods - from Amazon to Lieferando. Various artists reported on their experiences through different media. The newspaper showcases those artworks accompanied by critical texts, the cover showing a glitched map of failure.
