Graphic designer and artist Stefan Sagmeister [5] is communicating a serious life lesson through an unlikely medium: bananas! Set in patterns of green, yellow and brown, Sagmeister created his giant Banana Wall as part of an art installation for the ‘Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far’ exhibition. So what did 10,000 bananas affixed to a wall with some glue have to say? Find out after the jump…

“Self-confidence produces fine results.”
While by now this installation is a deep black compost – as the installation was originally exhibited just a few weeks in 2008 [7] - even old life lessons provide something to be gleaned from. And though we can think of many [7], many [8] other fun things to do with bananas [9], none of them seem to be quite as profound.
