Merijn Hos / Five Quick Questions
1. What's on your current playlist?
Center Parcs LP by Betonkust & Palmbomen II and Longwave by Bonny Doon. Two completely different things for different moods.
2. Something about you that people would be surprised to know?
I like to work alone in total in silence with curtains closed.
3. A recent purchase that you really enjoy?
The Democratic Forest, Selected Works – William Eggleston
I have already known the photographer for many years but never bought a book. I like flipping through the pages of this book during a Sunday morning breakfast.
4. What habit are you trying to implement or get rid of at the moment?
To be more focused on one subject project at a time to get the most out of it.
5. A book that changed you?
A book from Futura 2000, who is a graffiti pioneer. The first art book I have ever bought, and it gave me, coming from graffiti, a direction into illustration and design. I was really inspired by his work for Mo Wax. When I bought the book, everything suddenly made sense. I think this was in 2000, I remember spending all my money on it at the time.
