"The photographs are not only visually compelling, but they serve as a fascinating look into an alternative reality in which chaos has given way to careful geometry." - Cool Hunting

"Brilliant.... There's a cumulative humor to these bright, sharp photographs, and a deep puckish cleverness in Wehrli's choices. It's the rare art book that provokes laughs, while still earning admiration for color and composition; it's funny and beautiful. " - The A.V. Club

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Anyway, worth the chuckle. And my current role as a software engineer focuses on code health, including code cleanup, so I like keeping this book handy as a humorous antithesis to my occupation.
Since buying Wehrli's book for myself, I have gifted it to several friends and have enjoyed watching their faces and reactions as they turn each page.
Out of all the photos in the book, the evergreen branch is my favorite.
Highly recommended art book that anyone can enjoy.

I would live to make the same in my kids bedroom, with their toys. One day, if I have time ;-p
