Adrian Merz, Winter 1972, 2011

When your to-do-list Post-Its take over your home office… This installation was part of a student project by Swiss creative director and graphic designer Adrian Merz, titled Winter 1972. It was inspired by the scent of the same name by New York perfumer Christopher Brosius, who attempted to translate his memories of the winter of 1972 into smell. For his take, Merz interviewed various participants in their living rooms to discover their recollections and stories from that winter, and wrote fragments of these discussions down on the back of the Post-Its before using them to cover a similar sitting room set-up.
