Good year / bad year is a diary work for one person. During exactly one year, he or she notes daily her best and worst moment of that day, and by doing so, compiles future memories of the year.
The daily memories are written on two calenders that are mounted side by side, one for the good moments, the other for the worst moments. At the end of the year the two blocks are bound as a calendar that can be used the following year. Each day of that following year, the user encounters a good or bad memory to exactly one year earlier.
