Even though people remember from childhood the saying about the curious Varvara, whose nose was torn off at the bazaar, they still want to know too much. About relatives and friends, about friends and colleagues, about neighbors at the entrance and even about completely unfamiliar people who happened to see in transport, in the corridor of the institute or in the cinema. Therefore, lately, photo projects devoted to the ordinary life of ordinary people have become so popular: Girls and their rooms, What do you have in the refrigerator, Where do children sleep and many others. And the photographer Sannah Kvist from Stockholm dedicated her photo project All I Own those things owned by young people born in the 80s of the last century. Of course, Sanna Quist did not break into the apartments of guys and girls out of the blue. She wrote about her project on the Internet, and then visited those who were interested in the idea and did not refuse to demonstrate their personal belongings to the whole world. Many people needed to vacate an entire room in order to accommodate everything that they managed to acquire in less than 30 years.
In the course of the project, it became clear what each of the participants in the photo session values, what he loves and what he is fond of. So, it is not difficult to define a gambler in a person whose "sculpture" of things mainly consists of discs with games, and the amateur photographer - by the number of cameras carefully stacked at the very top of a large pile. The musician has a guitar in the most conspicuous place, and the athlete has sneakers, sports shoes and exercise equipment. A student is recognizable by the number of books and lectures, a tourist - by a backpack and a tourist rug … In general, looking at diverse installations from personal belongings, you can paraphrase a well-known proverb like this: show me what you have and I will tell you who you are …
Sanna Quist simply calls the participants of her photo project by their first names: Niki, Calle, Benjamin, Eva, Karl, Andrea and Asa. You can see the entire series of All I Own photos on Sannah Kvist's website.

Documentary photo project "Where children sleep" (Where Children Sleep). Everything is relative
Calling children "flowers of life" is already in the order of things, but it is difficult to imagine how different the "flower beds" and "fertilizers" of these flowers can be. The most interesting documentary photography project on this topic was initiated by journalist Chris Boot and photographer James Mollison from the United States. So, they drove around the world, and took a series of pictures, united by the common title "Where Children Sleep"
"Everything flows, everything changes". Ephemeral beauty in the work of Nicole Dextras
Artist Nicole Dextras is very fond of working with clothes, but she does it in very unusual ways. For example, her work is highly dependent on the time of year and the weather outside. If it's summer, then Nicole goes to the garden, where she picks up weeds and turns them into beautiful dresses. If it is winter outside, the artist takes ready-made clothes and … freezes them in blocks of ice. It's worth seeing, isn't it?
