A collection of deconstructed speeches made by Western leaders between 2016 and 2022, Agata Madejska’s ‘Mistakes Were Made’ reimages the poetic pathos that has come to structure the radicalisation of mainstream political thought today. From Trump to Merkel, it develops her ongoing interest in the fissures of institutional power by looking closer at the linguistic structures of contemporary politics. Transformed into jittering, self-affirming monologues, the political content of these public pronouncements is effectively removed. Debased of rhetorical action, Madejska’s editing exposes the patterns of persuasion that colour the play of contemporary political practice.
