The film follows Michael Landy as he takes his Art Bin project to Yokohama and is a portrait of artistic exchange as artists fragment their failures in his giant bin.

Famous for destroying all his possessions, Michael Landy's thought provoking art installations have often been fascinated with the idea of destruction. His Art Bin project gave artists the chance to throw away their failed artworks and in the summer of 2014 he was invited to bring the Art Bin to the Yokohama Triennale in Japan. Following Michael as he takes his 'monument to creative failure' to Yokohama, the film is an entertaining portrait of artistic exchange as artists from Japan and beyond, crash, shatter and fragment their artistic failures in his giant bin. As artists queue to condemn their works to what Michael calls "Landyfill", he reflects on attitudes to the value of art, consumerism and creativity - and the experience of bringing his own work to a new audience.
