Fake it till you make it
The exhibition 'Fake it till you make it' takes on the increasing trend of pushing oneself to a more efficient and improved persona through different strategies and methods proposed in ‘self-help’ books. In times when life becomes a performance due to the permanent attachment to and accessibility of (social) media, it hardly comes as a surprise that we turn to self-help books and their appealing promises of healthier, happier and more successful lives.
In a humorous manner this exhibition presents three chapters on core themes in self-help culture: 'Fulfill your potential', 'Be religious about your workout' and 'Take a deep breath'. With this, the show mirrors existing self-improvement tactics such as introducing rituals to your life, establishing forms of self-marketing or positive thinking and getting out of your comfort zone.
