The main topic of my minor degree is a reflection on the contribution of normative models and figures of success and failure to the formation of individual empowerment. The work tells about the relationship between effort and sacrifice and the phantasmatic vision of fulfilment. I refer to the context of tournaments and evaluation. I arrange the situation of a never-ending competition in which I take part in the hope of winning. I try to find a measure that will prove relevant to define the scale of success. Effort and sacrifice build the feeling of agency and uniqueness, but training finally assumes the form of a never-ending pursuit of approval. The form of the competition tells about great hopes combined with an extensive drill system and a categorical form of verification. The persistent repetitions of movements, exercises and gestures and the multiplication of images and sounds are a reflection of eternal dissatisfaction that, nevertheless, carries a secret hope of purposefulness. I want to find a happy ending, but I have the impression of being closed up in a vicious circle of repetitions being a constantly unfulfilled potential of satisfaction/solution.
