I had the immensest of pleasures collaborating with Stefan Sagmeister @stefansagmeister on a tiny piece for his massive exhibition in Paris, "Finally, Something Good"!

It shouldn't come as a surprise that I 'm a huge fan of Stefan as a creative supermind, but after collaborating with him for a few months I'm also a huge fan of him as a person.

I'm not going to share anything about the piece while the exhibition is running because there is a certain element of surprise and discovery but I'll say the following:

I was there with the whole family on opening night, and I'm clearly very biased, but this exhibition is one of the best exhibitions I have been to, so if you like Stefan's work and you can get yourselves to Paris until April you should do it!

I would also like to say a huge thank you to the always wonderful @mattsatonthecat Matt Partridge who did 100% of the ACTUAL work and animated the piece, and to @fonicpost Fonic who did the super fun sound design.

So, if you can, do get yourselves to @gaitelyrique La Gaite Lyrique in Paris, you will not regret it!

It was an honour to collaborate with Stefan and most importantly, I have a nice quote for the rest of my life and also for my tombstone.

"Yannis is fine" Stefan Sagmeister

Behind the scenes from the photoshoot for my interview at @shots_creative titled "playing with fire"

The hard part was not the heat, it was holding my breath to avoid breathing in the smoke.
