Swedish photographer Sannah Kvist enlisted a group of kids (all born in the 1980s) to compose sculpture of all his or her possessions. She then photographed them in their respective spaces. As we bury ourselves in more and more crap in a consumer culture that puts so much emphasis on the acquisition of stuff, the series presents an interesting observation on the minimum with which these subjects manage to survive in the modern world. (Notice how the kids look rather content.) I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes, which is an old Aboriginal adage: The more you know, the less you need.
