I’ve been on a TED talk buzz lately watching an average of one a day. I recently came across Ursus Wehrli’s humorous TED talk Ursus Wehrli tidies up art.
“We Swiss are famous for chocolate and cheese…Our trains run on time. We’re only happy when things are in order.”
This cleaned up soup and cleaned up fruit salad and just 2 of the examples from Ursus Wehrli’s upcoming book The Art of Clean Up (or Die Kunst, Aufzuraumen, from Kein & Aber).
I can’t help but wonder if the cleaned up soup and fruit salad would need to be eaten in order. Otherwise, why sort it at all?
If these appeal to you, you might also like this OCD Chef chopping board.



It’s like organised mess really. I think I’de prefer to have it all muddled up than people touching my food to lay it out!
I prefer mixed up food too, but it’s kind of funny to see it all laid out. More art than nourishment though.
