The “All I Own” series stems from Kvist’s personal struggle with consumerism: “I had lived for 23 years when I took the photo of me and everything I owned and thought it was a sad collection of junk I’ve managed to buy,” she tells Co.Design. Similarly, the friends and acquaintances she has photographed since then have been amazed by “how much shit they actually owned.” (If you’ve moved recently, you’re probably familiar with that feeling.) “I think most people actually got an eye-opener when they built the piles.” Pictures Of Millennials With Everything They Own (And It Isn’t Much) When I moved to Brooklyn I packed just about all my worldly possessions into two suitcases and dragged them into Bed-Stuy. Less is less and also is better. Having moved six times in the past 10 years I definitely try to keep “stuff” to a minimum. I’ve also really come to appreciate how much lighter books and albums are when they’re digital, although it is a little awkward when one’s bookshelves mostly hold comics because all the weighty, wordy stuff is on a Kindle.

Pictures Of Millennials With Everything They Own (And It Isn’t Much)

When I moved to Brooklyn I packed just about all my worldly possessions into two suitcases and dragged them into Bed-Stuy.

Less is less and also is better.

Having moved six times in the past 10 years I definitely try to keep “stuff” to a minimum. I’ve also really come to appreciate how much lighter books and albums are when they’re digital, although it is a little awkward when one’s bookshelves mostly hold comics because all the weighty, wordy stuff is on a Kindle.
