L11 Part 1 Intensive Reading Photographing Every Single Thing “If I had known how much work it would take, I might never have started," says Belgian photographer Barbara Iweins. One day in 2015.she decided to photograph all of her belongings and acted right away.Four years and 12.795 photos later, her task was complete. The decision came after Iweins had to move house for the eleventh time. She photographed room by room and drawer by drawer.Nothing was too dull to be included. Toilet rolls, coat hangers, keys,socks, toys and plates all made the cut.lweins admits that she and her three children are“extremely messy." In the process of photographing every single thing, the woman discovered many clothes that she had bought and then forgotten. “We're hiding our purchases," she said. “I was rediscovering skirts and thinking,“I've never worn this. It’s really nice and now I'm going to use it, ’ As Iweins’ picture collection grew, she decided to sort them by color, material and frequency (频度) of use. Of all her bathroom objects, for example, she found that 43 percent are plastic. Only1 percent of her clothes are purple -- it 's a color that she hates. And she has never used or moved 56 percent of the objects.Most importantly, Iweins says, she realized that only 1 percent of the objects are irreplaceable. She can actually get rid of all of the rest.After she completed her project, her shopping habits cooled.“The thing that has changed the most is the clothes,” she says. “I think I’ve only recently bought my first clothes in four years. Her most“precious”belonging is a dahlia (大丽花). The flower is kept in a jar of formalin (甲醛溶液). Iweins had seen it in a shop in Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹). Later, her cousin bought it for her.“These objects - the 1 percent that are irreplaceable to me and my children make me feel safe," says the photographer.“No matter how everything else changes, I can always rely on them.” Part2 Choose 1.
