Self-help books have never been so brutal!
A psychotherapist has created brutally honest self-help book titles inspired by his patients and the result is both hilarious and relatable.
Copenhagen-based artist, author, and psychotherapist, Johan Deckmann, uses humour and creativity to produce works that makes the viewer reflect on their own experiences.
His art and work combine to produce commentaries on how language is used in therapy and in art to prompt self-reflection”
“I use the strengths from both of my fields, both creatively and intellectually to create a synergy that I would not otherwise be able to develop. Be aware of that duality within yourself.”
