Synopsis
This volume explores how art and design create knowledge in a world where traditional language has reached its limits. Through the works and writings of more than one hundred artists, designers, and thinkers, it examines how images, gestures, and forms can reveal what words struggle to name. As the boundaries between disciplines dissolve, these contributors test new tools for understanding experience, confronting uncertainty, and challenging dominant narratives. Their practices show that visual work does more than represent reality. It can reshape it, offering critical, situated, and transformative ways of knowing in the blur of the contemporary moment.

How images, forms and gestures can be coopted into a new visual language capable of unsettling, reframing and provoking reflectionWhat tools can we adopt when words are no longer sufficient to describe what surrounds us?

How do artists and designers use the tools of their practices to question reality, deconstruct dominant narratives and propose alternative perspectives?When Words Fail weaves together the works and writings of more than 100 artists, designers, scholars and thinkers who, through different approaches, languages and sensibilities, explore the possibility of generating knowledge through image, gesture, form and action.
