#12There was a much more extreme work along the same lines by Michael Landy where he destroyed all his possessions Over a two week period.

#13Art... or the most meticulous documentation of possessions for renters insurance coverage?

#14White things on white background, supported by shopify... sublime.

#15Wow, I own even less stuff than this guy. When I started being a digital nomad, I was able to fit all of my worldly possessions in half a suitcase and one laptop bag...
Re: All I Possess
#16I was happy to see cleaning supplies, tools, and cooking gadgets. Every time someone posts one of those 'I only own 12 things' posts, that's the first thing I think about/look for.
Oh, you just spilled a drink? Better call a cleaning lady because you don't even own paper towels.
Time to a cook a meal? Nope, can't. Better just eat out instead.
Something is broken? No duct tape, can't go over my 12 item limit, throw out the broken thing and buy a new one.
It all seems so impractical while also oozing of privilege. Must be nice to not have to repair anything or ever cook for yourself.

#17Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't see a computer anywhere. I guess he has a friend uploading the images or he uses a public computer?
You're wrong: https://allipossess.com/products/macbook He does, however, only seem to possess one pair of boxer shorts.

It says '1 of 10', so presumably they're all the same.

Re: All I Possess
#19Seeing this I realize I own a lot more than I thought. I also realize there are several things I would not put publicly on the web. I don't get art I guess.
The execution of this is super weak.
There's nothing about the site that really conveys the magnitude of items besides page __ of 12, and you can't even browse by category as if it were an online shopping site, or see original purchase price. He's not utilising the chosen medium of an online shopping cart, so why even use Shopify in this case? It's a minimalistic image gallery with captions.
Sometimes the message is bland or the artist does a bad job of communicating their intentions. And this is one of those situations where I wouldn't fault the viewer as much as the artist for "not getting it."

#20I don't understand this style of, minimalism? Isn't the point to remove the power your possessions have over you? Not obsess over minifying the amount of possessions you own?
