Humans of the World.

French designer Adrien Colombie plans to travel the world this summer to conduct what he calls "an artistic survey of Earth's inhabitants." For each day of his yearlong trip, he'll interview a stranger, collecting stories, signatures, and fingerprints - when he's done, he'll share fifty of his favorites in a book titled Humans of the World. Love this idea, and can't wait to see the final result. 


Track Adrien's journey on Facebook, here. Learn more at Indiegogo.

  8. I love that he asks people for their fingerprints, and I can't believe he's not sharing all his interviews. I imagine it will be hard to narrow so many undoubtedly interesting encounters to 50.

    And, I'm so curious about that string hopper mold. I need to see it in action!
