The work of designer/artist Danielle Aubert features many typological exercises. In this particular project, entitled “Slept In Places”, she documents where she slept (literally, her “bed”) from May 19th to November 6, 2005. You can see the timeline here.
Check out her website where you can see other interesting projects like her Yale Design MFA Thesis — a book of drawings she made in Microsoft Excel over a period of 16 months.

On sale at Amazon.com.
