Trust Fall

Trust Fall

Artists: Laura Gildner and Jon Sasaki

Trust falls are common team building exercises wherein individuals fall backward and count on their peers to catch them. When translated to everyday encounters and communications, without a safety net, the act of trusting the process can have unexpected, yet generative, outcomes. From origami objects that are folded based on remote instructions, to artworks developed through psychic intervention, Trust Fall is an exhibition that celebrates the creative potential of mistakes and miscommunication.
