Sagmeister’s Great Wall of Bananas

Give Stefan Sagmeister 7,400 bananas and some glue, and he will give you a giant Banana Wall. Titled Self-Confidence Produces Fine Results, the piece was part of an art exhibition at the Deitch Gallery entitled Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far. Yes, it smelled like thousands of ripening bananas…

Sagmeister used green bananas to write the title into the piece, and yellow ripe bananas as the background. The strange thing about this installation is that it changed over time. As the bananas continued to ripen, the motto disappeared and the background became brownish-yellow. The whole display gradually decayed over the 24 days of the exhibition.

Based in New York, be sure to check out Sagmeister’s color intense website for more of his design work and current exhibitions.
