Allmylifeforsale
As a Book?

|
In November Bloomsbury
will release a book about the Allmylifeforsale
project. It was designed from cover to cover
by John Freyer. Bloomsbury
is planning an US reading
tour for the book as well. All
My Life For Sale chronicles the
evolution of this online project from initially
a way to downsize ones life, to an exploration
of our relationship with the objects around
us. |

Allmylifeforsale:
What was it?
This
was an online project that started October 2000
when I invited about 50 people to my house for
an "Inventory Party". They sorted
through my things and helped me decide which
items best represented my life in Iowa City,
Iowa. I have gone through the process of listing
every thing that they tagged and more, I listed
the Allmylifeforsale.com domain name on August
1st, 2001 as the final item of the project.
A
main component of this project is following
where all of my stuff is going. I am asking
all of the highest bidders to provide the readers
of allmylifeforsale with an update
on the piece of my life that they acquired.
I
am also keeping track of where all my stuff
is going on a huge wall map. I am planing on
visiting some of my life wherever it ends up,
maybe at your house? You can keep track of where
I am and where I'm going by visiting me at Temporama.
Thanks
I
need to thanks the University of Iowa, Margaret
Stratton,
the Grad
Photo Workshop, And Maya Roberts
for throwing me a Birthday Party and letting
me auction it off, Trey
Sager for being
the best writer in my world. Sasha
Waters for making a Radio Documentary
on the Project. (NPR
Weekedend Edition ) and Robin Bush for letting
me sell the only
ring
that I ever wore. (and all of the people who
are buying my stuff and may let me come an visit
it someday)
Sincerely,
John
