You Say Potato – I Say Fuck you


This website serves as a curated digital archive and visual collection of anthropomorphic objects, a project initiated by artist Clara Bahlsen in 2006. The platform functions as a playful, almost obsessive exploration of everyday items—from food packaging to street signs—that have been imbued with human-like faces and personalities. It is a celebration of the uncanny and the whimsical found in mass-produced culture. The design is unapologetically raw and grid-centric, utilizing a dense, masonry-style layout that prioritizes visual impact over traditional navigation. The aesthetic is highly eclectic and vibrant, mirroring the chaotic energy of the subject matter itself. Targeting art enthusiasts, designers, and lovers of pop surrealism, the site's visual identity is defined by its high-contrast, colorful, and slightly subversive character.
