SELF-HELP
2016
twenty self-help books, paper, pencil
The work, made during a residency in Seattle, comments on the lifestyle of the United States Pacific Northwest. It consists of suggestions for new self-help book titles.
The book titles are randomly generated by combining words from self-help book titles with words that often seem to come up in the current Northwestern discourse. 10 title beginnings, 10 middle parts and 10 endings give the possibility to generate in total a thousand different titles.
