One day, John Freyer decided to sell everything he had on the Internet. He tagged every item in his apartment and invited them to a friend to systematically sell them to eBay. Unopened taco shell box, half bottle of mouthwash, almost all clothes, his favorite record, horn on his side (in a plastic bag), his family's Christmas gift (still given Furniture: John can neither emotionally nor effectively block him. Soon, his belongings were sold all over the world, bags of Porky's BBQ Pork Skins headed for Japan, and the chair finally entered the Museum of Modern Art. As almost all of his life went out, he began the second phase of his journey: watching his disposable items in a new environment
"All life in my life" is a meditation about autobiography, travel stories, and what we actually mean for us and what happens when we release them. Designed by the author himself, it is visually persuasive, surprisingly mobile, and will change the way you see things around you

For example, looking at John D. Freyer's book "All My Life for Sale" (and the associated website Allmylifeforsale.com), you can see that one of Tumwater spent $ 11 to buy kimchi cans. A woman in California used $ 48 to buy a belt buckle. A Portland-born man paid $ 41 for 4 photos of four educational dental professions. Become a concept art project, Freyer sold approximately 600 items on eBay, traveled throughout the country and visited his original property in a new house.

"All life in my life" is an amazing record of this project - part of autobiography, part of the trip, and part of cultural commentary. This is what our surroundings actually mean to us. What has become of meditation? For Frell, it was initially a simple and unorthodox way to increase his maneuverability and led to a series of unexpected revelations of his lifestyle. Finally, what he draws out of his project is a special understanding of everything we form, people, and the attachments that make up our world.
