Artwork and Photography by URSUS WEHRLI

Swiss comedian and artist Ursus Wehrli is releasing a new book called, The Art of Clean Up, where Wehrli meticulously rearranges, organizes and tidies everyday objects and scenes and then photographs the harmonious outcome.

This beahviour could be considered a form of obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) which is characterized by a pervasive pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and mental and interpersonal control at the expense of flexibility, openness, and efficiency.[Source]

Whatever the diagnosis, this is a fun and playful series and sure to please those that prefer everything neat and organized, even their photography!
