After Microsoft revisits the site for the default wallpaper in Windows XP, a green hill with blue sky and cumulus clouds which became the most distributed image ever. The re-photographed view is presented together with a 3 min voice-over that tells the story of a January day in the late 1990’s when this hill came to coincide with a global branding strategy.

The work is in the collection of Malmö Konstmuseum since 2018.
