Is this journal a) easy to use, b) fun to use, or c) all of the above?
There are two types of people in the world: Those who can fill the blank pages of a diary in about a month, and those who get overwhelmed just thinking about it.We’ve never snuck a peek at artist Philipp Keel’s journal, but we imagine he falls into the latter category—mostly because his latest creation, Simple Diary, makes chronicling your life a whole lot easier.
Simple Diary lives up to its name, turning daily entries into an art experiment. Every page features a series of questions, some reflective, others just ridiculous. You can fill in the blank to, “Who is brilliant and does not have a clue?”, answer “yes” or “no” to the question, “Do you like popcorn?”, or make a graph of your life. And unlike personal diaries, which are usually hidden away under mattresses or in bedside tables, you won’t mind leaving Simple Diary on your coffee table; the book is released by Taschen, purveyor of fine art books and fancy hardcovers. But instead of charging upwards of R800, this tome goes for just R120. (excluding shipping).Which just might leave you with enough money to do something diary-worthy...
