In the preceding video, we see the room itself as contemporary art.  I loved the pale yellow light filtering through the windows into a room that had wooden accents, very comforting, very uniquely suited to city living.

The following image appeals to me, especially because of its use of words as art.  Whether you view the language as an enhanced narrative, and read and focus on the written meaning of the scripts, or the grafitti reminds you of something else, like symbolism of journal writing and a sense of place, its modernist and minimalist representation are kept coherent, silent, and striking:
