The beautiful, simple and slick Villa Överby, near Stockholm by John Robert Nilsson
DARK SIDE OF THE LENS
“…cold creeping into your core driving you mad, day after day, mumbling to yourself while you hold position and wait, for the next set to come…the dark side of the lens.”

Complaining is Silly… by Stephan Sagmeister
‘The billboard for the Experimenta in Lisbon is made out of newsprint paper. We took advantage of the fact that newsprint yellows significantly in the sun. A gigantic stencil for the 3m x 8m billboard was built in New York on the roof of our studio and the newsprint paper was exposed to the sun for a full week. It then spelled out the line (in white on dark yellowed background): “Complaining is silly. Either Act or Forget”
We then shipped this exposed newsprint to Lisbon. Through further exposure to the sun there, the typography (and the complaining) slowly faded away.’
