Swiss artist and comedian Ursus Wehrli has shared these images from his upcoming book of photography, The Art of Clean Up, which features OCD-esque rearrangements of common, everyday things such as food, foliage, and friends.

Swiss artist and comedian Ursus Wehrli is famous for his Tidying Up Art books, where he takes famous artworks by the likes of Chagall, Seraut, or Paul Klee, and “tidies” up the images by carefully organizing them into component pieces, in infographic-like variations. He talks about his work in a pretty hilarious TED talk in 2006.

These photos are from his forthcoming book, The Art of Clean Up, which features OCD-esque rearrangements of common, everyday things such as food, foliage, and friends. See more images from the new book in this gallery on sueddeutsche.de.
