Swiss artist and comedian Ursus Wehrli exposes our obsession with order by positioning objects in neat rows according to colour, size, shape and category. This may seem like a rare type of OCD; nonetheless, The Art of Tidying Up shows what happens when ordinary scenes and objects are given an extreme reorganization in fascinating series of photographs. Wehrli previously applied his comical editing skills to the messy world of art, tidying up Vincent Van Gogh's bedroom and bringing order to Pieter Bruegel's chaotic village scene in his books Tidying Up Art (2005) and More Tidying Up Art (2007).
